Conservative politician assumes presidency in Poland

In a recent election, Karol Nawrocki, the candidate of the right-wing party PiS, has been elected as the President of Poland. Nawrocki, known for his populist views, defeated pro-European politician Rafal Trzaskowski in the election.

As the new President, Nawrocki will have important duties, including being the commander-in-chief of the army and determining foreign policy. However, his stance on certain issues has raised concerns.

Nawrocki has expressed opposition to Poland adopting the Euro, which is the currency of the European Union. He believes that Poland should maintain its own currency, the Zloty. This stance is in contrast to countries like the USA and France, where the use of a common currency is the norm.

In addition, Nawrocki has been vocal about his opposition to immigration, particularly refugees and migrants. During his campaign, he stated that no refugees should come to Poland from the neighboring Ukraine region, where a war has been ongoing for three years, with Russia attacking it daily.

Nawrocki's stance on Ukraine extends beyond immigration. He has vetoed Ukrainian aid laws and expressed opposition to Ukraine's NATO membership and related support measures. This contrasts with Poland's traditional support for Ukraine.

It's worth noting that the President of Poland is the head of state in many countries, and in some cases, the President can veto laws passed by the government. In Germany and other countries, the head of government has more power than the President.

Poland, a neighboring country of Germany, has a population of approximately 38 million people, with most of its population speaking Polish. It is slightly smaller than Germany but has half the population. Like Germany, Poland is a member of the EU, the European Union, and its capital is Warsaw.

One of Nawrocki's controversial statements during the campaign was that he believes Germany should pay Poland more money as compensation for atrocities committed during World War II. This statement has sparked debate and raised questions about Poland's relationship with its neighboring countries.

As Nawrocki takes office, it remains to be seen how his policies will impact Poland and its relations with other countries. His stance on the Euro, immigration, and Ukraine are likely to be key issues in the coming months.
