Karol Nawrocki: Poland’s Nationalist President and a Threat to European Democracy

02-06-2025

Karol Nawrocki's election marks more than a political shift. It's a warning to all who believe in liberal democracy. Backed by far-right extremists, disinformation networks, and international allies like Trump, his presidency threatens to derail democratic reform in Poland and deepen the EU's internal crisis. What happens next in Warsaw will echo across the continent.

Democracy does not die overnight, but it does die while we wait for 'a better moment' to push back. There is no later. The authoritarian right understands that. It is time the rest of us do too.
