Poland faces a razor-thin presidential run-off, with polls showing just a one to two per cent gap between the leading candidates: nationalist candidate Karol Nawrocki and liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, with a margin of error that leaves the outcome wide open. RFI spoke to veteran political observer Marcin Swiecicki, a former mayor of Warsaw.
“The decisive second round has become unpredictable,” Swiecicki told RFI, as the campaign is increasingly dominated by personal attacks and controversies rather than substantive policy debate.
