The number of migrant workers from India, Sri Lanka, China, and Thailand has grown significantly. Most of these workers are paying between $6,000 and $12,000 in fees—similar to the kafala system in Qatar—just to secure a permit to work in Israel. crossbordertalks.eu/2026/01/…

Nawrocki will often reformulate ideas from Donald Tusk's 2023 election campaign, thereby weakening its social support, which is already extremely low. In the eyes of Poles, the government is simply not fulfilling its role. An energetic president would weaken it even more.

The younger the voter, the weaker the attachment to the worn-out narrative: the battle between good and evil, democracy vs the dark ages, or real patriots vs traitors. The 2 most popular candidates among the <30 voters: Sławomir Mentzen and Adrian Zandberg.

While the government shows no direction of further development and does not deliver most of the promises, far right parties like Confederation gain ground only by having a consistent message and approaching the potential voters actively.
