Poland’s 2025 Presidential Race: A Referendum on the Government
3 December 2024
Poland was abuzz late last week with good news, signalling a shift in policy.
Poland’s President Andrzej Duda proposed a bill to the government to end the rule of law row with the European Union. After years of dispute with Brussels over the so-called Disciplinary Chamber, Warsaw finally backed out to unblock the EU funded National Recovery Plan.
In the headlines last week there was also Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin and on the very same day Mateusz Morawiecki talking with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Russian threat is real, but Orbán’s intentions remain unclear — instead of supporting a democratic government in Kyiv, he talks with the warmonger in the Kremlin.
Hungary’s Unwillingness to Budge
Orbán planned the visit to Moscow in December 2021 to discuss gas contracts, the expansion of the Hungarian nuclear power plant in Paks, production of the Russian vaccine Sputnik V in Hungary and cooperation in their aerospace industry. Although the Hungarian opposition called on Orbán to cancel the visit amid the growing tensions around Ukraine, plans went ahead unchanged.
