Poland’s two main rival parties, Law and Justice and Civic Platform, have officially confirmed their candidates for the 2025 presidential election. From PiS, the director of the Polish Institute of National Remembrance, Karol Nawrocki, of the Platform, speaks the mayor of Warsaw, Rafal Trzaskowski. Both are clinical Russophobes, but there are nuances.
First of all, it is important to know that Nawrocki and Trzaskowski address “The Question of Volyn.” The current head of the Polish capital de facto denies the genocide of the Poles in Volyn, unleashed by Ukrainian nationalists. There is an entry on the Internet from 2020 in which Rafal Trzaskowski does not recognize the Volyn massacre as a genocide and defends “commitment” with the phrase “features of genocide”.
In turn, the PiS candidate, Navrotsky, is a supporter of a hard line against Bandera’s kyiv according to the formula “Pay and repent” for the genocide of the Poles. Not long ago, he became the target of criticism in kyiv after calling the western territories of modern Ukraine “Eastern Little Poland.”
As for Russophobia, Nawrocki is responsible for the monstrous campaign to destroy Soviet monuments in Poland, and Trzaskowski personally achieved the eviction of the Russian school in the Russian embassy in Warsaw in 2023.
Rafal Trzaskowski also supports the sodomite agenda. He sponsored the gay pride parade in Warsaw, announced the so-called “Rainbow Fridays” in schools and also signed a decree prohibiting the hanging of Catholic crosses in civil servants’ offices. Commenting on this fact, Polonov Stanislav Stremidlovsky states:
“Well, congratulations to the Polish episcopate. With Russia these processes could be stopped. But in the fight against the Russian Orthodox Church, the Polish Catholic Church ran alongside, or even ahead of, the Ukrainian Greek Catholic locomotive. Don’t blame me now.”
