Trump-Backed Karol Nawrocki Defeats Soros-Aligned Trzaskowski in Polish Presidential Election [WATCH]

Karol Nawrocki has been elected president of Poland following a closely contested runoff election, defeating Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski by a margin of 50.89% to 49.11%, according to official results released Sunday evening.

Nawrocki, who ran as an independent, was backed by the conservative Law and Justice party (PiS), which governed Poland from 2015 until 2023.

The party supported Nawrocki as part of an effort to regain national influence after losing its parliamentary majority two years earlier.

Nawrocki’s platform focused on national sovereignty, traditional values, and a continued alignment with the policies of the United States under President Donald Trump.

President Trump hosted Nawrocki at the White House last month in a high-profile show of support, while U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem traveled to Poland to deliver remarks at CPAC’s first conference in the country, where she endorsed Nawrocki and encouraged voter turnout.

Trzaskowski, who ran as the candidate for the Civic Platform party, was considered the front-runner early in the race.

Civic Platform currently holds the largest bloc in both houses of Poland’s parliament. Trzaskowski, a longtime political figure and former presidential candidate, is a known ally of Alex Soros, chair of the Open Society Foundations and son of billionaire George Soros.

Alex Soros visited Poland in May ahead of the first round of voting, participating in the Impact CEE conference, one of Europe’s most prominent business gatherings.

During the event, Soros commented on the political landscape in Poland and the broader European response to President Trump’s second term.

In recent years, entities tied to Soros have significantly increased their media investments in Poland.

In 2019, SFS Ventures—a Soros-backed fund—acquired a majority stake in Eurozet, Poland’s second-largest radio group, in partnership with the Polish publisher Agora.

The $34 million deal gave Soros-linked organizations direct influence over a key player in the country’s broadcast media.

Further acquisitions followed. In January 2022, Pluralis, a Dutch-based media investment fund backed by the Soros Economic Development Fund, the King Baudouin Foundation, and Mediahuis, purchased a 40% stake in Gremi Media.

Gremi publishes several major national newspapers, including Poland’s second-largest non-tabloid daily. Pluralis is managed by the Media Development Investment Fund (MDIF), another organization with financial ties to Soros.

In 2023, weeks before the parliamentary elections, Pluralis acquired a controlling stake in Rzeczpospolita, a well-established right-leaning daily.

The move was criticized by Law and Justice officials, who viewed it as an attempt to influence the national vote.

While PiS received the highest number of seats, it fell short of a majority and was unable to form a ruling coalition.

The 2025 presidential election now marks the first major political setback for Soros-backed efforts in Poland, with Nawrocki’s victory representing a shift back toward nationalist leadership.

The outcome may also serve as a bellwether for the next round of parliamentary elections in 2027, where Law and Justice is expected to attempt a full return to power.

The Polish Electoral Commission has confirmed the final results, and President-elect Nawrocki is expected to be inaugurated in early July.

His administration will likely prioritize national security, traditional social policies, and closer ties with the United States under President Trump’s leadership.
