In May, just a few weeks before Poland’s presidential elections, Karol Nawrocki—a civic candidate for president—will visit the United States. The purpose of his trip is now known.
Nawrocki to Meet with the Polish Community
Since 1892, Chicago has held an annual parade to commemorate the anniversary of the May 3rd Constitution. This year’s edition will carry the theme “1000 Years of the Polish Kingdom.”
In 2023, the event was attended by then-Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak. Other guests included Deputy Speaker of the Sejm Małgorzata Gosiewska and Head of the National Security Bureau Jacek Siewiera, who read a letter from President Andrzej Duda and First Lady Agata Kornhauser-Duda.
*”On May 3rd, Karol Nawrocki will visit the Polish-American community and participate in the annual May 3rd Constitution Day Parade in Chicago,”* wrote Paweł Szefernaker today on social media.
