#Latest news with #TuskAdministrationBloomberg28-05-2025BusinessBloombergPoland's Pro-EU Path Faces Election TestWelcome to the Brussels Edition, Bloomberg's daily briefing on what matters most in the heart of the European Union. Poland's presidential runoff is exposing underlying cracks. While the economy is thriving and the country has reestablished its place in the European mainstream, energy costs, surging taxes and EU funds that have yet to make a tangible impact remain important considerations for local businesses. The vote on Sunday — where government-supported candidate Rafal Trzaskowski faces nationalist Karol Nawrocki — is increasingly seen as a referendum on Prime Minister Donald Tusk's record since he returned to power in 2023 following eight years of populist rule. At stake is whether Tusk's coalition will have a partner in the next president or one who may seek to block its pro-EU agenda. US President Donald Trump's administration has made clear which outcome it would prefer.
