West vs West stand-offs continue, as populist Right-Wingers spread their message in multiple countries across Eastern, Central, and Western Europe, defying the will of Eurocentric, globalist, pro-NATO parties and Brussels control.

The attendance of Romanian candidate George Simion to a Rally in Poland last month, alongside his co-ideologist Karol Nawrocki, was a projection of what Western outlets termed the “Warsaw-Bucharest Axis”.

It seems that this result in Poland will be perplexing to analysts who tend to abstract and oversimplify the political dividing lines between Left and Right parties while linking this classification to a pro or anti-Russia demarcation across Europe.

If we take even a cursory look at Polish President-elect, Karol Nawrocki, who will be sworn in on August 6th, 2025, we would know that probably his first use of his presidential power would be of his veto power to hinder the incumbent centrist government, led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, pro-EU programme, as he pledged during his campaign, in continuance of the veto block applied by outgoing PiS-endorsed President, Andrzej Duda., which would mean Tusk’s government would be blocked until the end of its term in December 2027.

Tusk, on his part, facing this major political setback, announced on June 2 that he would ask the Sejm for a parliamentary vote of confidence for his third cabinet. However, even if he succeeded in securing this vote for his “Big Tent” Coalition, it doesn’t seem that the poles of the ruling “tent” would stand against such contentious and continuous presidential veto blocks.

But can Brussels accuse Right-winger Nawrocki of being Pro-Russia or a Friend of Putin, while he is actually listed on the Russian Federation “Wanted List” for his role as the President of the Institute of National Remembrance, in removing Soviet-era monuments, which he considered symbols of foreign occupation. An act considered by Russia as vandalism of war memorials, and sabotage of the symbolic commemorations of the Red Army’s advance towards victory over the Nazi Army starting in 1939, to the successful 1945 Vistula–Oder offensive, which broke the back of the German forces, and opened the road to Berlin for the Russians a couple of months later, at the outset of WWII.

Karol’s position on the Russia-Ukraine War is more nuanced and composite than other Right-Wing European leaders, namely Hungarian Prime Minister, Viktor........
