Day Drug Test Gauntlet Transforms Scandal Tactics

The morning began with continued coverage of the Nawrocki hotel scandal from the previous day, with opposition figures warning about the implications of his potential victory. By mid-morning, Nawrocki shifted the narrative by taking a drug test with negative results and challenging Trzaskowski to do the same, a maneuver that dominated subsequent coverage.

By early afternoon, a new controversy emerged when reports claimed ABW (Poland's Internal Security Agency) had previously issued a negative security recommendation for Nawrocki, questioning his unexplained wealth sources. Nawrocki responded by filing a lawsuit against Onet over their hotel scandal allegations.

The battle for far-right voters intensified as Wipler publicly endorsed Nawrocki at the CPAC Poland conference, urging voters to vote "against Trzaskowski." Meanwhile, Sebastian M., the fugitive from the A1 highway accident, was formally charged but did not plead guilty, bringing closure to a high-profile case that had paralleled the campaign.
