Polish president uses inauguration to criticise EU and signal clashes ahead
The Guardian
|August 07, 2025
The nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki was sworn in as the Polish president yesterday, using his inaugural address to criticise the EU as he vowed to represent "sovereign" Poland in a sign of potential clashes to come with the country's pro-European government.
In a combative speech in parliament aimed squarely at the prime minister, Donald Tusk, and his allies, Nawrocki said voters in June's presidential election had "sent a strong message... that things cannot continue to be governed in this way".
The 42-year-old attacked his rivals for the "propaganda, lies... and contempt" to which he said he had been subjected during the campaign. He said he opposed "illegal migration... and joining the euro", and wanted a "sovereign Poland that is in the European Union... but is and will remain Poland".
A devout Catholic, Nawrocki ended his speech with "may God bless Poland, long live Poland".
