On behalf of the ECR Group in the CoR, President Marco Marsilio expresses congratulations to Karol Nawrocki for his victory in the Polish Presidential elections. Nawrocki's result is a significant achievement and a moment of pride for those who believe in a Europe grounded in democratic legitimacy, respect for cultural heritage and national sovereignty", said President Marsilio who underlined how it also reflects the will of the Polish people for common-sense based policies that will hopefully encourage other European nations to reaffirm their commitment to these values in future elections.

"I am confident that, with strong leaders in the European Council and beyond, we can strengthen the contribution of centre-right and conservative voices to policies that deliver economic growth, resilience, and prosperity to our nations, regions and communities", he added.

Mr Nawrocki has been elected the new President of the Republic of Poland and will be taking office in August. Our Group wishes President-elect Nawrocki every success as he takes on his new role.
