Poland's new president Karol Nawrocki has vowed to change the country's constitution to protect its sovereignty, in an address to parliament after his inauguration that set the scene for battle with the government over democratic standards.⁣ ⁣ Nationalist Nawrocki's speech opened what looks set to be a bitter conflict with centrist Prime Minister Donald Tusk, who wants to move Warsaw closer to the European Union mainstream and roll back contested judicial reforms implemented by the new president's allies, the conservative Law and Justice (PiS).⁣ ⁣ The president has the power to veto laws, leading to the political deadlock already seen under the previous presidency of PiS ally Andrzej Duda. The president can also propose his own bills.⁣ ⁣ #poland #nawrocki #politics #polandpolitics #president
