The presidential election in Poland is between the EU-friendly mayor of the capital, Rafal Trzaskowski, and the candidate of the formerly governing party Law and Justice (PIS) Karol Nawrocki.
In an opinion poll ahead of the second and decisive round of voting, both candidates have exactly the same support, to the decimal point, 43.6 percent, reports AFP.
The theme of the support manifestation for Mayor Trzaskowski was "the great march for patriots". The high nationalist Nawrocki's demonstration was called "march for Poland" and had chosen the Castle Square - Slottstorget - as a symbolic final destination.
The presidential election has political significance in Poland. The current president Andrzej Duda from PIS has on several occasions stopped reform proposals from the sitting government led by Donald Tusk. If party colleague Nawrocki wins, analysts predict that new elections may become relevant in Poland.<|start_header_id|>assistant<|end_header_id|>
