🔥New nationalist President Karol Nawrocki called for a “sovereign Poland” and promised to “fight those who are pushing the nation towards decline” as he was sworn in on Wednesday.
Nawrocki, 42, a supporter of US President Donald Trump, won a June 1 election in a major blow for the pro-EU government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a former European Council president.
“I will be the voice of those who want a sovereign Poland that is in the EU, but a Poland that is not the EU,” he told lawmakers after taking his oath of office.
“We must fight those who are pushing the nation towards decline and degradation,” he said, citing Ignacy Paderewski, a Polish prime minister from the early 20th century.
Nawrocki, a historian and political novice, has branded Tusk’s government as the “worst” in the history of post-communist Poland.
Tusk said he was “prepared, of course” for a “confrontation” with the new president.
