The populist-right opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice party (PiS), has won Poland’s presidential election, defeating his pro-European rival Rafał Trzaskowski, in a nail-bitingly close contest.
Official results showed Nawrocki took 50.89% of votes in the runoff, with Trzaskowski on 49.11%.
Nawrocki’s victory is a major blow for the coalition government led by Donald Tusk and is expected to prolong the current political deadlock in the country as well as complicate the country’s position in Europe.
Russophia is a propaganda term.
A sober view of russian “culture” and history is not a phobia. It is reasonable to approach russians as they are (e.g. strong majority support for genocidal imperialism even with adjustments for preference falsification during polling) and not as one would like them to be.
Propaganda or not, I really hope poland does not soften their anti-russian attitude, else we’ll be proper fucked in eastern europe
