PiS’s Nawrocki Seeks Far-Right Mentzen’s Backing Ahead of Polish Presidential Runoff

Karol Nawrocki, the candidate supported by PiS, agreed to a statement prepared by far-right candidate Sławomir Mentzen ahead of the June 1 Polish presidential runoff.
Mentzen, who received 14.8% of votes and came third, made the declaration a condition for supporting Nawrocki against Rafał Trzaskowski, who topped the first round with 31.4%.
Nawrocki and Mentzen publicly discussed shared positions, including opposition to the Green Deal, euro adoption, and new taxes, while Nawrocki welcomed honest dialogue despite some disagreements.
A UCE Research poll shows 65.9% of Mentzen's voters plan to support Nawrocki in the runoff, with Nawrocki stating, "The Green Deal is bad and must be rejected."
Nawrocki’s engagement with Mentzen’s electorate could strengthen his position against Trzaskowski, suggesting a potentially tighter runoff race on June 1.
