The political scientist ruled out a "right turn" in Poland in connection with the victory of Navrotsky

The victory of the opposition candidate, the leader of the Law and Justice party, Karol Nawrocki, in the presidential elections in Poland does not mean any "right turn" for Poland. This opinion was shared with Izvestia on June 2 by Vadim Trukhachev, Associate Professor of the Department of Foreign Regional Studies and Foreign Policy at the Russian State University of Economics.

According to him, the Poles voted for Navrotsky in order to balance the political system. In Poland over the past year, it has been possible to observe a balance between the initiatives of the leader of the Civic Coalition, Prime Minister and Eurooptimist Donald Tusk and a native of Law and Justice, former president and eurosceptic Andrzej Duda. The political scientist also stated that Navrotsky's victory does not mean any "right turn" for Poland.

The expert also ruled out that the country's position on Russia and Ukraine will change with the change of president.

"Neither one nor the other presidential candidate is ready for any kind of cooperation with Russia. <…> [Nothing will change in the issue of support for Ukraine. In Poland, Russophobia is the basis of political consciousness. Ukraine is a small evil that can be helped against the greater evil that is Russia. Both Polish eurosceptics and Polish Eurooptimists are completely united in this, nothing will change here and cannot change," Trukhachev said.

In addition, the political scientist commented on media reports that Tusk is preparing to present the issue of a vote of confidence in the government to the Seimas.

"The Seimas is dominated by pro—European forces, so whether it will dissolve itself is a big question. In addition, even if the new president succeeds in dissolving the Sejm and calling elections, the victory of "Law and Justice" in them is absolutely not guaranteed, because the Poles have felt the taste that the leaders should represent different forces. It is unlikely that Law and Justice will be able to regain undivided power in Poland," he concluded.
