"The results of Poland's election show that Poland remains a deeply divided country. Although the electoral turnout was highest ever in history of presidential elections, Mr. Nawrocki's margin of victory is very small, which means that half of Poland will be cheering his presidency, whereas half of Poland, the other half, remains deeply worried or even disturbed."

STORYLINE:
Warsaw residents had mixed reactions on Monday to Conservative Karol Nawrocki's narrow win of Poland’s weekend presidential runoff election.
Nawrocki won 50.89% of votes in a very tight race against liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, who received 49.11%.
The race had Poland on edge since a first round of voting two weeks earlier, revealing deep divisions in the country along the eastern flank of NATO and the European Union.
The President of the Polish Institute of Public Affairs Jacek Kucharczyk said the election result is “very bad news" for the European Union.
But some voters were satisfied with Nawrocki's win.
"My candidate won, simply. I am happy that Poland will remain Poland and will not be sold," local resident Danuta said.
The outcome suggests that Poland can be expected to take a more populist and nationalist path under its new leader, who was backed by U.S. President Donald Trump.
Nawrocki will succeed Andrzej Duda, a conservative whose second and final term ends on Aug. 6.
Under the Polish constitution, the president serves a five-year term and may be re-elected once.
