Karol Nawrocki accused Donald Tusk of harming Poland more than any alternative, while the president and opposition leaders weighed in on the prime minister and the far‑right candidate Grzegorz Braun.
Criticising the Current Government
Karol Nawrocki said the current government creates crises, fails to honor its promises, and is fundamentally a bad administration. He added that he would cooperate with any better government, insisting on pragmatism in political decisions.
President Critiques Tusk’s Leadership
During a side conversation about an upcoming meeting with President Zelensky, the Polish president seized the moment to attack Donald Tusk. He called Tusk the worst prime minister since 1989, blamed his policies for public‑finances, health‑care and international‑relations crises, and said the former prime minister’s popularity has faded.
Kaczyński Declines to Work with Braun
Jarosław Kaczyński asserted that his party would not collaborate with Grzegorz Braun, arguing that Braun had no place in Poland’s political life. He warned that Braun’s rhetoric would hinder serious policy discussions; Deputy Jacek Sasin, however, had expressed a more ambiguous preference for Braun over Tusk.
Polling Indicates Rising Support for Braun
Surveys show the Confederation party’s backing ranging between 7% and 9.6%, depending on the pollster. An IPSOS poll revealed that 30% of Confederation voters would give their vote to Braun’s party, while 4% of Third‑Way supporters would also choose it.
