Poland's conservative president-elect to be tough opponent for PMPoland's president-elect Karol Nawrocki is taking up a largely ceremonial role, but his impact on the country's politics in the next five years may be profound. Nawrocki's supporters, the national conservative Law and Justice (PiS) opposition, feel re-energised after losing power 18 months ago to Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-EU coalition. Nawrocki, a socially conservative 42-year-old historian, is widely expected to be an even tougher opponent for Tusk than Duda. Some believe the resulting paralysis could tempt the government to hold early elections before the scheduled autumn 2027 deadline. Alternatively, the government could decide early elections are in its best interests.
