“At the moment, I am against Ukraine’s entry into the European Union,” Polish President-elect Karol Nawrocki told Hungarian outlet Mandiner in an interview released on June 7.
“On the one hand, we must support Ukraine in its conflict with the Russian Federation, but Ukraine must understand that other countries, including Poland, Hungary, and other European countries, also have their own interests,” he said.
Nawrocki won the second round of the Polish presidential election on June 1 with 50.89% of the vote. He has previously voiced opposition to Ukraine’s membership in the EU and NATO, despite supporting Ukraine’s sovereignty.
This is Russia. Ukrainian immigrants are already here and have been here for decades. And the right wing party plays right into Russia’s playbook and have been for a very long time. That’s why this election had a record turnout and why it was so close. And even with that, it seems like there are plenty of “election errors” in cities where a specific location wrote numbers backwards - always in the benefit of Nawrocki and the loss of Trzaskowski. What’s happening is a farce, plain and simple.
