Recent campaign events – debates in Końskie, on TV Republika, and an interview on Kanał Zero – have broken through the media bubble, allowing Poles to see the real Karol Nawrocki, according to his campaign team. “There is no blind optimism, just hard work and humility. The road to victory is still long,” they told the Niezależna.pl portal.
The past week in politics was dominated by presidential candidate debates in Końskie, a debate aired on TV Republika, and Karol Nawrocki’s interview on Kanał Zero. Polls show that Rafał Trzaskowski’s campaign may be losing steam. So how is Nawrocki’s team reacting?
“At last, Poles could see the real Karol Nawrocki – without distortions, without media filters, chopped-up quotes, or false narratives. Thanks to the debate in Końskie, poorly executed by Rafał Trzaskowski’s team, to appearances in conservative media, and to the conversation on Kanał Zero, people saw a man with presidential stature,” said a senior member of Nawrocki’s campaign to Niezależna.pl.
“Karol also showed ease, self-distance, a sense of humor, and the courage to engage in dialogue with anyone,” they added.
A Long Road Ahead. No Overconfidence
Other team members share the sentiment.
“Poles have finally met the true Karol Nawrocki, free from media shielding and manipulation. For the first time, he broke through the media barrier that favors Rafał Trzaskowski. There’s no euphoric optimism. We’re glad the debates and broader public engagement have allowed people to see who Karol Nawrocki truly is. It’s all about work – hard work and humility. There’s still a lot to do, and the path to victory is very long and challenging,” another campaign staffer told us.
The campaign has further plans in motion.
“On Sunday, April 27, 2025, the #Nawrocki2025 Electoral Convention will take place in Łódź!” wrote campaign manager Paweł Szefernaker on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday.
“This is the final stretch of the campaign. We’ve got a lot lined up. Field work is only part of it. Things are going to get interesting,” his team promises.
