Domenne tens of thousands of people have taken the streets of Warsaw to demonstrate support for rival candidates in the Polish presidential elections next week, which the government considers crucial for their democratic reform efforts.
Prime Minister Donald Tusk hopes to encourage support to his candidate, the liberal mayor of Warsaw Rafal Trzaskowski, replacing Andrzej Duda, a nationalist who has placed the veto to many of his efforts to reform the judiciary.
“All of Poland is looking at us. All of Europe is looking at us. The whole world is looking at us,” said Trzaskowski to supporters who have aroused Poland and the European Union.
Tusk went up to power in 2023 with a vast alliance of left and central parties, with the promise to cancel the changes made by the law and justice of the nationalist government which, according to the European Union, compromised democracy and the rights of women and minorities.
Trzaskowski beat the nationalist Karol Nawrocki for two percentage points in the first round of the elections of May 18, but has difficulty maintaining his leadership, according to the opinion polls.
Nawrockki voters, some who use the limits with the words “Poland is the most important”, gathered in another part of the capital to show support for their initiative to strictly align the policies of the President of the United States Donald Trump.
“They are the voice of all those whose screams do not arrive today in Donald Tusk. The voice of all those who do not want Polish schools to be places of ideology, that our Polish agriculture will be destroyed or our freedom to be taken,” Nawrock said to the multitude on Sunday.
Some of his supporters brought lanes with slogans such as “this is Poland” or showed Trump images.
“He is the best candidate, the most patriot, the one who can guarantee that Poland is independent and sovereign,” said Jan Sannowski, 42 years old.
About 50,000 people participated in the meeting of supporters of Karol Nawrocki, while about 140,000 people participated in the support march of Trzaskowski, said the Polish press agency, citing preliminary preliminary estimates by the municipal authorities.
