Nawrocki’s victory over Warsaw mayor Rafał Trzaskowski is a blow to Donald Tusk’s pro-EU Polish government
Now that Nawrocki has been confirmed as the president-elect by the official results, expect his critics to get back to asking questions about some of the scandals that affected his campaign in the last few weeks before the vote.
He faced questions over the circumstances in which he bought an apartment from an elderly man, with suggestions that he acted improperly and failed to meet his obligations to provide care as part of the transaction. He denies the allegations.
You get to a tipping point … where a lot of people start to think they are just coming up with stuff to discredit this guy …
[Hooliganism] does fit with his image that ‘this is a tough guy who takes no prisoners, not afraid to go into a fight representing me and my interests’ … It’s actually a double-edged sword.
