American Journal: Due to political divisions, Poland is performing below its potential

The Wall Street Journal highlights that Poland's international influence is hindered by deep political divisions, despite its strong economy and military spending. The ongoing political conflict limits Warsaw's relations with both the U.S. and key European nations. Although Poland has been a significant military supporter of Ukraine and has welcomed many refugees, it remains sidelined in crucial diplomatic discussions. The rivalry between Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki exacerbates this situation, as foreign policy becomes a tool for domestic political battles. The polarization is further intensified by disputes over the Constitutional Tribunal and upcoming elections, while Russia continues its aggressive actions in the region.
