New Polish President, New Ally: Karol Nawrocki's Inauguration Sends Strong Message to Hungary

Although Poland’s political elite is divided, society consistently follows the voice of common sense. A clear proof of this is the inauguration of Poland’s new president, Karol Nawrocki. Miklos Szanho, Director General of the Center for Fundamental Rights, emphasized that if Nawrocki had not won, the globalist camp, led by Donal Tusk, could have gained unlimited powers.

Nawrocki recently stated in an interview with Mandiner that he does not support Ukraine's accession to the EU. These are important words coming from the president of one of the EU’s largest member states, Szanho pointed out.

Even if this doesn’t turn the tide overnight, it’s clear that in Karol Nawrocki, Hungary has gained another ally on the international stage,

Miklos Szantho noted.

Much like Hungarian society, Polish society desires peace, calm, and security,

the director general summarized the domestic political situation in Poland.

Regarding the Russia–Ukraine war, public opinion in Poland is shifting compared to the initial enthusiasm, with anti-war voices growing stronger and support for Ukraine’s EU accession waning,

he explained. These voices are gaining ground not only within the Confederation party but also within the ranks of Law and Justice (PiS), and "Karol Nawrocki is certainly no war hawk."

I see that while the Polish political elite is divided and the political scene in Poland is much more fragmented than in Hungary, on issues like migration, the fight against woke and gender ideology, and now the war in Ukraine, it’s clear that Polish society represents the voice of common sense,

Miklos Szantho said in conclusion.
