Vote-Buying Scandal Rocks Polish Presidential Debate

Polish Presidential Debate Sparks Vote-Buying Accusation Warsaw, Poland – A recent presidential debate in Poland has ignited controversy after candidate Rafal Trzaskowski leveled a serious accusation against his opponent, Karol Nawrocki. Trzaskowski directly questioned Nawrocki about the alleged use of millions of zlotys in funds received from Father Tadeusz Rydzyk for vote buying in the upcoming election. "Nawrocki, you flew with President Duda to see Father Rydzyk. Should Rydzyk return the 400 million zlotys he received from the state budget for his various enterprises?" Trzaskowski stated, according to the video. The video shows a portion of Nawrocki's response, but it's unclear from this clip whether he directly addressed the vote-buying allegation. The brevity of the video highlights the need for further investigation into the matter and the source of these substantial funds. The exchange underscores the high stakes of the 2025 Polish presidential election and the intensity of the campaign.
