The morning began with news of a shooting at the Israeli embassy in Washington that killed two staff members, described as an "antisemitic terror act." Prime Minister Tusk held an emergency military briefing in Gdynia, warning that "the Baltic will become a place of confrontation" following a Russian "shadow fleet" vessel incident near strategic infrastructure.
The presidential campaign was dominated by Karol Nawrocki's meeting with Sławomir Mentzen, where the PiS candidate signed Mentzen's declaration and aligned with most of his positions. Nawrocki revealed he carries a personal weapon due to Russian death threats, and expressed opposition to the European Green Deal. This meeting generated polarized reactions, with critics calling him a "chameleon" while supporters praised his "transparent" approach.
By evening, new polls showed Nawrocki pulling ahead of Trzaskowski for the first time. Tusk hinted at forthcoming revelations about Nawrocki's past, including alleged participation in football hooligan "arranged fights."
