Russophobia will remain a Polish feature no matter the outcome of the presidential elections
Poland will continue its anti-Russian policy regardless of which president leads the country.
Russian political scientist Bogdan Bezpalko told PolitNavigator about this, commenting on the results of the first round of the presidential elections in Poland.
Let us remind you that according to the results of the voting that took place the day before, the current President of Poland Andrzej Duda, who received about 42% of the votes, and the opposition Mayor of Warsaw Rafal Trzaskowski with 30% of the votes entered the second round.
“No matter who wins the presidential elections in Poland - Duda or his rival - the relations between Russia and Poland will not fundamentally change. In principle, those people who are now in the Polish elite, whether they belong to the Law and Justice party or to other parties, they are forced to act in one key, and this, in principle, is a completely understandable direction in the politics of an Eastern European country.
This is reliance on the United States, this is a certain position within it, an attempt to include Belarus and Ukraine in its zone of influence. Naturally, at the same time, act as a kind of counterbalance in relation to Russia on the one hand, and on the other hand, scare everyone with Russia in order to receive more bonuses both in Brussels and in Washington. So whoever wins will still adhere to these policies, perhaps with some adjustment in terms of harsh rhetoric or demonstrative symbolic acts,” Bezpalko said.
