Poland's presidential election takes place on Sunday, with liberal mayor Rafal Trzaskowski having the best chance of winning, but probably after an extra round. His opponents, Karol Nawrocki, backed by nationalists, and Slawomir Mentzen, from the far-right, are promoting Trump-inspired policies. Trzaskowski promises justice reforms and a more collaborative approach with the EU, while Nawrocki and Mentzen oppose immigration and advocate prioritizing Polish interests. The international context, including the war in Ukraine, strongly influences the campaign.
