According to the exit polls, Warsaw’s liberal market Rafal Trzascowski won a narrow victory in the Polish presidential election, but conservative historian Karol Nawrocki should determine the next president of the state.

According to the second exit poll, which was announced late on Sunday night, Trzaskowski, the deputy director of the Citizen Platform (PO) party of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, accounted for 31.1%of the voting.

NAWROCKI ranked second with 29.1%of the voting.

If the polls are confirmed by the final official results that are unexpected by the end of Monday, -TRZASKOWSKI and NAWROCKI will compete in the second round on June 1st.

Trzaskowski told his supporters at a rally in Sandomierz, southern Poland. “We will win.” But he said he would need a lot of work and “big decision.”

“I’m sure that all Poland will win,” he said.

He said he would cooperate with the Union of Prime Minister TUSK to liberalize the state’s strict abortion law and accelerate the reform of the Polish judiciary.

Trzaskowski was worse than the polls predicted before the vote, which was 4% -6% ahead of NAWROCKI.

President Polish has a great conscious authority, but he can reject the law of the government. TUSK’s union is not enough to overturn the president’s right to reject the president.

TUSK did not convey his many campaign promises. Andrzej Duda The existing conservative president refused the government’s legislation, but partially failed to convey his campaigns because it was caused by union division of problems such as abortion and civil partnership.

Trzaskowski’s victory will remove the president’s veto, but Nawrocki will be much stronger than DUDA.

NAWROCKI told GDANSK’s supporters that TUSK should not be able to get total power in Poland.

He supported Grzegorz Braun, “Saving Polish,” in the third place in the third place and 14.8%of the two extreme candidates, SLAWOMIR MENTZEN and TUSK.

According to the exit survey, Karol Nawocki, a conservative historian, ranked second with 29.1%of the voting.

There are many people in the second round, which candidates can mobilize voters.

NAWROCKI is not known as a state scale before the law and justice (PIS) select him as a candidate. But he has improved it and PI is good at surpassing voting.

Trzaskowski must be voted by his supporters. In addition, those who are candidates for junior association partners, Magdalena Biejat and conservative three -way (Szymon Holownia) should also win.

Another concern about Trzaskowski is better than the expected results of the right candidate because many supporters do not vote for him.

Mentzen’s results showed strongly and continued to improve his best federation party since entering the Congress in 2019.

Will his main voters come back to leaks?

Many will support NAWROCKI for his Catholic and family -centered views, but PIS’s left -wing economic policy hates economic policies for generous national benefits.

Mentzen is a candidate for anti -establishment, and some of his supporters may not want to vote for NAWROCKI or Trzaskowski.

The result of the state -of -the -art MEP, Grzegorz Braun was an unpleasant surprise for Polish free voters.

Braun made a headline when he presented a candle in the Jewish Menorah in the Polish Parliament with the fire extinguisher following the Hanukkah Festival in 2023.

Brown called the festival “Satan.” In last month’s discussion, he said: “The Jews said so much in Poland.”
