26.05.2025Day Nawrocki's Grand Hotel Past Confronts Presidential Race
The morning began with media analysis of weekend campaign marches, with outlets generally agreeing Trzaskowski's gathering drew larger crowds. New polls showed a razor-thin margin in the presidential race.

By midday, Onet published explosive allegations about Nawrocki's past involvement with prostitution at Sopot's Grand Hotel, triggering an immediate political firestorm. Nawrocki announced he would sue Onet in civil court, while President Duda and PiS officials defended him, calling the reporting "bandit methods." Prime Minister Tusk challenged Nawrocki to file a suit in the expedited electoral court procedure instead.

Meanwhile, Sebastian M., the fugitive charged in a fatal A1 highway accident, was extradited from the UAE and arrived in Warsaw, with Tusk releasing footage of his return. Polish fighters were scrambled in response to Russian actions over Ukraine, underscoring ongoing security concerns as tensions with Mentzen continued after his controversial beer meeting with Trzaskowski.
