The survey, which shows Trzaskowski winning 50.3% to right-wing contender Karol Nawrocki’s 49.7%, is within the two percentage point margin of error.

    I understand what you’re saying, but what I’m trying to say is that as a society, we have established certain rules: whoever gets more votes wins. This rule must be respected. Of course, I would protest if the elections were rigged, or if the new president were someone truly dangerous to others or to us. But Nawrocki is simply incompetent and has a criminal past. The President in Poland mainly has veto power; he cannot do much more than block new government laws. Sometimes, it’s better to have a president from a different party than the government, because then there isn’t absolute power in the hands of one party or coalition. Poland already has a president from this party, so nothing really changes. It hurts, but we can live with it. We’re simply ashamed. But everyone can be wrong. Maybe it’s better this way? Who knows. Time will tell. Trzaskowski would approve every European Union law, and that’s a problem. I think the EU is heading in the wrong direction. Now they want us to use an EU application to log into social media. Maybe this president will stop this madness. I think it would be better to block this law, even if it means paying a penalty.
