Hungarian PM Viktor Orban praised Karol Nawrocki's victory in Poland's presidential election, highlighting it as a success for European conservatives and an ally of Donald Trump. Nawrocki's win poses a challenge to Donald Tusk's centrist government. Despite supporting Ukraine, Nawrocki opposes NATO membership for the country.

In a significant political upheaval, nationalist Karol Nawrocki secured a narrow victory in Poland's presidential election, a result hailed by Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban as a triumph for European conservatives. Orban, a known ally of Donald Trump, viewed Nawrocki's success as a continuation of the right-wing movement across Europe.
Nawrocki's win delivers a blow to the existing centrist government led by Donald Tusk, which had been striving to maintain Poland's pro-European stance. Despite Nawrocki's support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, he diverges from past Polish policies by opposing NATO membership for Ukraine.
Orban's endorsement of Nawrocki underscores a shared vision with the MAGA movement and reflects his clear opposition to the liberal pro-Brussels government in Warsaw. This election outcome sets the stage for potential shifts in Poland's foreign policy dynamics, particularly concerning its alliances and stance on Ukraine.
