Nawrocki is officially independent, but during the election campaign he was supported by PiS. Already then he was in favor of the anti -German party line.
Nawrocki's victory is a signal that PiS may return to the government in the next parliamentary elections in the autumn of 2027 (with the help of the extreme right). This would be a continuation of the Kaczyński era.

The chairwoman of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen very diplomatically congratulated Nawrocki through “BlueSky” and emphasized that she was convinced that “the EU would continue very good cooperation with Poland.”
“Let's work together to ensure the safety and prosperity of our common homeland,” she appealed to Nawrocki.
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier also emphasized the partnership between Germany and Poland. “Let's work together to strengthen friendship between our nations!” He said.

The Polish Newsweek writes in a similar tone: “Without his own president, the coalition will never be able to make key changes in the state, realistically repair the mess, what eight years of PiS rule left behind in such areas as the judiciary.”
Nawrocki's victory “launches processes that can cause PiS return to power before the election in 2027”.
“Continuation of the Kaczyński era”
