"Prime Minister Donald Tusk must be prepared for a sharp conflict with President-designated Karol Nawrocki, who will most likely act more confrontationally than outgoing president Andrzej Duda", we read on the German station portal Deutschlandfunk.
Karol Nawrocki announced "strong resistance" against the government. In his opinion, Tusk has been the worst prime minister since 1989. The president-elect called for the exchange of the head of government.
"Nawrocki's statements show that he wants to fight the government with even more determination than his predecessor Duda. A non-partisan 42-year-old historian owes his career to the influential head of PiS Jarosław Kaczyński, an eternal political enemy of Tusk," writes Deutschlandfunk, predicting that a consistent blockade by the president may weaken the coalition and strengthen the centrifugal forces.
The station notes that the Polish president can usage veto to block the laws, and the Tusk government does not have the required majority to reject the veto.
MDR Television: Nawrocki will deepen divisions
"Polish society is profoundly divided, and Nawrocki's entrance to the Presidential Palace will further deepen this division," writes Cezary Basil on MDR tv portal. Expected by many Poles, the settlement of the Law and the restoration of democratic institutions, importantly affected by the Government of the United Right, became almost impossible. However, the list of charges is long and includes politicisation of the judiciary, restrictions on media freedom, mistrust of public money or the usage of the Pegasus strategy to fight the opposition.
The author believes that Karol Nawrocki will become a "obedient performer" of Kaczyński's politics, who not only wants to return to power in 2027, but besides wants revenge in Tusk.
Ambassador of Poland in "Morgenpost": Real politics are different from rhetoric in the campaign
The influence of Nawrocki's election on Polish-German relations was addressed by Polish Ambassador Jan Tombiński in an interview with the Berlin paper "Morgenpost".
"I say president Nawrocki will proceed the politics of his predecessor Andrzej Duda, but we must wait (with final evaluation). The rhetoric in the election run is frequently different from real politics, which can besides be seen in Germany. president Duda paid a farewell visit to president Steinmeier in Berlin last week in a good atmosphere. The Polish president has limited competences in abroad policy, while in safety policy his powers are greater," said Tombinski.
"Berlin Zeitung": "Rocky" more dynamic
Jan Hambura writes in "Berlin Zeitung" that Rafał Trzaskowski was much more colourless in the media than Nawrocki, who as an amateur boxer in a hoodie resembled Sylvester Stallone from the movie "Rocky". "Karol Nawrocki simply made a more dynamic impression, demonstrated the clear will to win and visited much more cities, towns and villages during the campaign," said Hambur analyzing the causes of the candidate's triumph supported by the Law and Justice.
"Der Spiegel": There will be a fresh war upstairs
"Nawrocki believes she has a mission to fulfill," writes Jan Puhl in the latest edition of the weekly magazine "Der Spiegel". The fresh president wants to save Poland from 'forgotten traditions, spoiled elites' whose typical is Trzaskowski. Poland must besides be defended against "illegal migration", climate protection regulations and refugees from Ukraine. The author reserves that in the issue of Ukraine Poland will not follow in the footsteps of Hungary, due to the fact that in "the DNA of the Polish right hand is entered hostility towards Russia".
"Spiegla" writer predicts a fresh version of "war on top". Compared to Nawrock Duda, he was, according to many observers, the "totally accessible" president. After Nawrock, we anticipate a much sharper course. His goal is to aid the Law and Justice return to power.
