We won despite the spiral of hate and hatred that has poured down on us over the past week," said Łukasz Gibała, an independent candidate, just after polls closed for the mayor of Kraków. According to the exit poll, the politician achieved 36.6 percent support. This is the highest result. However, a second round will be necessary.

The elections in Kraków were not decided in the first round. In the second round, Łukasz Gibała and Monika Piątkowska, the candidate supported by the Civic Coalition and the Polish People's Party (PSL), will fight for victory. If exit polls are to be believed, it's already clear who lost the Kraków elections: the right wing. This doesn't mean, however, that supporters of Donald Tusk's government have reason to celebrate.
