WARSAW - Poland’s nationalist incumbent Andrzej Duda won the first round of a presidential election on Sunday but will have to face the centrist mayor of Warsaw in a run-off on July 12, in a race that could transform the nation’s ties with the European Union.
Opinion polls conducted before the vote predicted Duda and Trzaskowski running neck-and-neck in the run-off if they scored the top two spots on Sunday.PiS has cast Duda as the guardian of its generous welfare programmes, which have helped it win national elections in 2015 and 2019, and of its pledge to protect traditional family values in predominantly Catholic Poland.
But his long-held lead crumbled in the weeks ahead of the election, after a late entry by Trzaskowski who appears to have galvanised many voters keen to end Poland’s isolation within the EU or angry over Duda’s allegiance to PiS.
Missed the obvious ‘Poles go to the Polls’ tabloid headline
What tense relationship? Poland are the largest recipients of EU money. They are not going to rock the boat. The real tensions will come if the EU cut their subsidies.
These people can do it so can we. NO ID NO VOTE. NO MAIL IN VOTING !
Don't vote for any party that backs immigration or you'll be replaced and destroyed like the rest of stupid Europe.
Nonsense. Publish more idiotic comments.

At least they take the virus seriously and wear masks in Poland.
This important election is a chance for Poland to reject trump pal Pres Duda, who does not oppose Putin's attacks on democracies.
C'mon. You know it's been fixed already.
Wishing Poland well. These are hard times.
You kind of missed this publication's alarm notification for a pair of hours, intern
Look! They show ID b4 being able to get a ballot! White supremacy? Racism? Voter suppression? What’s wrong with these Polish ppl!?!?
Omg! They are just as conservative as Trump but for the love of Polish people THEY WEAR MASKS!
Someone tell that poll worker he still needs a mask with a face shield. 😷🙄
Harrold, no one knows you're a lying troll. Keep up the good work.
Why does western media ignore the progressive economic policies of PiS?
I sure hope they have hand sanitizer.

People are frickin afraid to leave their homes and worrying about how to pay rent, but we should pay millions of dollars for this celebration. 🙄 This is ridiculous. Quincy Institute quoted... “Flyovers like this cost about $60,000 an hour, roughly the same price as 60,000 N-95 masks or 20,000 of some COVID-19 test kits”
