Poland’s presidential candidates received demands from far-right leaders whose voters could decide the outcome of the June 1 run-off election.
Poland’s presidential rivals Rafal Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki are vying for support from far-right voters after neither secured a majority in the first round of elections held on Sunday. The two candidates now face a run-off on June 1.
Far-right figures Slawomir Mentzen and another Confederation party candidate, who jointly attracted over 20% of the vote, sent both candidates a list of demands on Tuesday. Mentzen, who finished third with 14.8%, invited Trzaskowski and Nawrocki to a YouTube debate, where he plans to ask them to sign a declaration reflecting the priorities of his electorate.
Among the demands: no tax increases, protection of free speech, no Polish troops in Ukraine, opposition to Ukraine joining NATO, no power transfers to the EU, and maintaining the right to bear arms.
Trzaskowski, the centrist mayor of Warsaw representing the ruling Civic Coalition (KO), has already secured endorsements from Magdalena Biejat (The Left, 4.2%) and Szymon Holownia (Poland 2050, 5.0%), both members of the ruling coalition.
However, other left-wing candidates Adrian Zandberg (4.9%) and TikTok-popular Joanna Senyszyn (1.1%) have not backed any candidate so far, making the final outcome uncertain amid unpredictable voter behaviour.
