LIVE: Polish President-Elect Karol Nawrocki Swearing-in Before Poland's National Assembly | CNBC TV18 WARSAW - Poland’s National Assembly holds swearing-in ceremony for incoming president Karol Nawrocki in Warsaw, marking the official start of his term. Karol Nawrocki, a conservative historian aligned with Donald Trump’s MAGA movement, will be sworn in as Poland’s president today, marking a setback for Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s pro-EU agenda. Backed by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, Nawrocki’s victory signals potential policy clashes and a cooling stance toward Ukraine. Nawrocki’s presidency is expected to prolong political gridlock, mirroring the tenure of outgoing President Andrzej Duda. With veto powers at his disposal, Nawrocki could block Tusk’s efforts to reverse judicial reforms enacted by PiS, which critics argue weakened court independence. The new president has also floated tax cuts—a popular but fiscally challenging proposal for Tusk’s budget-strained government. On foreign policy, Nawrocki diverges sharply from his predecessor, stating he sees “no place for Ukraine in NATO or the EU.” His stance could complicate Poland’s ratification of future NATO expansions. #poland #karolnawrocki #warsaw #polishpolitics #polandnews #europenews #cnbctv18 #livenews
