A current crisis in Poland could bolster Prime Minister Donald Tusk ahead of the 2027 elections, but it may also hurt both him and President Nawrocki, according to Polish expert Krzysztof Marcin Zalewski.

Zalewski made the remarks while commenting on the political impact of the ongoing situation in Poland. He said the fallout from the crisis remains uncertain and could cut both ways for the government and the presidency.

The expert said the present circumstances may shape voter attitudes before the 2027 polls, though he cautioned that the same crisis could also backfire on Tusk and Nawrocki depending on how events unfold.
