@rafal-trzaskowski.bsky.social powinien zacząć mówić o 2027.
Jeśli Nawrocki motywuje wyborców potrzebą zatrzymania jedynowładztwa Tuska, to łatwo to odwrócić. Prawica ze skrajną prawicą mogą dojść do władzy w 2027.
Trzaskowski jako prezydent jest potrzebny, aby zatrzymać ich jedynowładztwo.

This is interesting on so many levels: as an effort of #Trump 2.0 to influence domestic politics in Europe (this time in #Poland); as an experiment on whether this can boost rather than damage the candidate's credibility; and as presence of 'US policy' in elections.

With @celiabelin.bsky.social and @camillelons.bsky.social, we argue Le Pen's conviction will have implications well beyond France, serving as a powerful proof for the international far-right that the system is unfair and skewed against them 👇 @ecfr.eu
Marine Le Pen’s conviction disqualifies her from the 2027 French presidential race – a development likely to embolden far-right movements across Europe.

Don't write off #France just yet, but instead keep it engaged in Europe's defence & #Ukraine decisions + seek to fill in Europe's leadership gaps that its domestic political turmoil only exacerbates.
Here's our recommendation - with @camillegrand.bsky.social & Camille Lons - for the rest of Europe.

Today's vote to end #Barnier gov looks like a lose-lose situation to me.
Not only will it heighten economic uncertainty in and vis-a-vis #France, but it's also to-be-seen if the left or the far-right, who voted the government down, will be able to draw any political benefit from it.
