By introducing a zero-interest alternative, Nawrocki “pushes the ball across the court to the government,” forcing it to explain why it prefers the EU plan. Dowell says the move also “really changes the whole dynamics of the debate,” shifting political pressure away from the president. In the end, he predicts the fight over defense funding will keep heating up, and warns that “we’re going to see a battle” in the media and politics leading up to Poland’s 2027 elections.
