I could do anything to feed them,” a Palestinian father told Al Jazeera. “We saw people running, and we followed them, even if it meant taking a risk, and it was scary.

“We have been dying of starvation. We have to feed our children who want to eat. What else can we do? I could do anything to feed them,” a Palestinian father told Al Jazeera. “We saw people running, and we followed them, even if it meant taking a risk, and it was scary. But fear is not worse than starvation.”

First, on May 22, Slawomir Mentzen, the far-right head of free-market party Konfederacja, who came third in the first round of the presidential election, claimed on his YouTube channel interview with Nawrocki that the PiS candidate had taken part in a fight between football hooligans in 2014 – something Nawrocki has never denied.Then, in a TV debate the following day, he was seen placing a small sachet on his gum, thought to be filled with tobacco, but which prompted speculation that he might have been taking drugs. Nawrocki responded by providing a negative drug test result on Tuesday.

Finally, a news story was published by Onet, citing anonymous sources, claiming that as a young man, Nawrocki had participated in supplying prostitutes to guests of the Grand Hotel in the seaside city of Sopot, where he worked as a security guard in 2007.

When it comes to other issues – everyone can make a mistake, and it does not have to mean bad intentions,” said Marcin Mamon, a right-wing freelance journalist who claimed the alleged scandals involving Nawrocki have been exaggerated.

“For me, voting for a conservative or right-wing candidate is a declaration of values, such as the Catholic faith. Voting for the other candidate means voting against the Church and for abortion, which I’m totally against.”Parliamentary deadlock

Having a like-minded president would be crucial for the governing Civic Platform to reverse controversial judicial reforms introduced by the former PiS government, especially regarding the independence of the judiciary.

As a result of the changes, which were deemed to contradict European law, in 2021, the European Union imposed penalties on Poland. While Civic Platform came to power in 2023 with the promise of reversing the controversial laws, it has been unable to do so as President Duda holds a right to veto and would block any attempts at changing the law.Barely a month later, it also struck down a bill Lopez Obrador backed that would have slashed the funding of the country's

In response, Lopez Obrador criticised the judicial system for serving the interests of the political and economic elites.Daniela Arias, a coordinator for the pro-democracy think tank Laboratorio Electoral, remembers Lopez Obrador railing against the judges at his daily news briefings.

“The president's questions in his morning press conferences were: What legitimacy do these [judges] have, versus what the people decided at the polls? Why are they holding up my projects?” Arias said.With less than a month left in his presidency, Lopez Obrador decided to do something about his complaints. He pushed forward with his
