In Germany, Navrotsky's cooperation with the patriotic forces of the EU was allowed

The opposition candidate who won the elections in Poland, the leader of the Law and Justice party, Karol Nawrocki, may begin to cooperate with the patriotic forces of the European Union (EU). Gunnar Lindemann, a member of the Berlin Chamber of Deputies from the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, told Izvestia on June 2.

He noted that the party is happy about Navrotsky's victory.

"He opposes the dictatorship of Brussels in the same way as the Alternative for Germany. We want to save our native lands from the influence of the dictatorship of Brussels. It's good that we have another colleague in this matter. On the other hand, he opposes the Russian Federation and supports the continuation of the Ukrainian <conflict>," the deputy noted.

Lindemann recalled that the AFD stands for a diplomatic settlement of the conflict in Ukraine and hopes that the party will have the opportunity to influence the new Polish president to change his position.

"I think he will contact other patriotic forces in different European countries, for example, Hungary, with [Prime Minister Viktor] Orban. And then we hope to find a good diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian conflict," Lindemann said.

He won by a narrow margin.

German economist and political scientist Richard Werner, in an interview with Izvestia, admitted that the new Polish president would defend true democracy in Europe.

"He is one of those candidates who are somewhat more critical of Brussels and the very centralized management style of the European Union. He is considered more right-wing than left-wing on the political spectrum. <...> I think this candidate will be one of those voices who will advocate for greater democracy in Europe," he said.

Werner also warned Navrotsky against repeating the sad events of the country's past.

"In the past, Poland was very often used in Western interests as a kind of force to pursue a policy against Russia, on the one hand, but also against Germany, on the other hand," the expert recalled.

On June 1, Poland held the second round of the presidential election, which was won by Nawrocki. He won 50.89% of the vote, while his rival, Warsaw Mayor and candidate from the ruling Civic coalition Rafal Trzaskowski— won 49.11% of the vote.

Navrotsky also criticized the country's Prime Minister, Donald Tusk, on June 1, he pointed to the monopolization of power in the country. News Agency Onet.pl It was reported that Tusk may submit a vote of confidence in the government to the lower house of parliament.
