Supporters of Poland¡¯s presidential contenders took to the streets of Warsaw on Sunday for parallel marches that highlight deep divisions in the European Union nation a week before a tightly contested runoff election.
Pro-government Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski is running neck-and-neck with Karol Nawrocki, who¡¯s backed by the main opposition Law & Justice party and has sought to attract far-right voters. The election will decide whether one of the EU¡¯s fastest-growing economies can resist the surge of populism sweeping the bloc.
¡°It¡¯s now or never,¡± Trzaskowski, 53, told supporters carrying red-and-white Polish flags. ¡°We¡¯re in the final stretch, we need determination, we need every vote so that we win the future.¡±
