Poles vote in a presidential election on Sunday that the pro-European government in Warsaw says can revive its stalled democratic drive and its nationalist opponents see as a chance to set Poland on a path inspired by U.

Sunday’s presidential election in Poland will be watched across Europe as a gauge of whether the continent’s recent nationalist-populist surge can be halted, Bloomberg reported on Thursday.

Power in Poland rests primarily with the prime minister and parliament. But the president wields real influence by signing laws into force, or vetoing them, appointing judges and ambassadors, and helping to shape foreign policy. Presidents can rarely impose their own agenda, but they can certainly frustrate the government’s.
