Polonia had presidential election on Sunday.
I think turnout was relatively high, 71,63% in the second round, and the results are close, the PiS backed Karol Nawrocki Gzegorz I beat his opponent, Rafal Trzaskowski Gzegorz II, who was the governing coalition's candidate, for 50.89% vs 49.11%.
Btw I and II aren't Roman numbers but weird Polish letters.

This is an important result I think. The previous President was also the PiS' man. In 2023 the opposition could form a government, tho the PiS got the most votes. This generated butthurt all around. Plus the new Tusk government started a... let's call it a purge... which was called unconstitutional, undemocratic and so on. I really can't judge this, I only know what I heard from Fidesz media...
Details I forgot, the PiS is considered conservative, the coalition liberal. Whatever this means in our time and age, in the EU parliament they sit with the EPP which is conservative but count as leftist now.

Ewa ZajÄ…czkowska-Hernik Gzegorz III looks cute. She has nothing to do with the presidential election.
