Poland at polls in tight presidential election: What’s at stake in vote between pro-EU, nationalist visions?

A victory for Rafal Trzaskowski, 53 of the centrist Civic Platform party would deepen Poland’s integration with EU, ease the near total abortion ban and bolster LGBTQ+ rights. In contrast, Karol Nawrocki, 42, is a nationalist who appeals to traditional, Catholic voters. His focus is on stricter curbs on immigration
