Poland Elects Youngest President: Conservative Shift | JQJO

Karol Nawrocki, a 42-year-old historian, has won Poland's presidential election, becoming the country's youngest president. Supported by the right-wing Law and Justice party, he ran as an independent. Nawrocki's victory signals a conservative shift, with plans to continue blocking EU-led judicial reforms and maintain a strong anti-abortion stance. While supporting Ukraine's defense against Russia, he opposes its NATO and EU accession and advocates for the exhumation of Poles killed by Ukrainian nationalists during WWII. His win follows a close race against Traszkowski.
