Combative speech in parliament sets Karol Nawrocki on course for collision with Tusk’s pro-European government

The nationalist historian Karol Nawrocki has been sworn in as the Polish president, using his inaugural address to criticise the EU as he vowed to represent “sovereign” Poland, in a sign of potential clashes to come with the country’s pro-European government.

In a combative speech in parliament aimed squarely at the prime minister, Donald Tusk, and his allies, Nawrocki said on Wednesday that the voters in June’s presidential election had “sent a strong message … that things cannot continue to be governed in this way”.
