On March 23, Polish President Karol Nawrocki met with Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok as part of the ongoing Polish-Hungarian Friendship Days. On the same day, Nawrocki is scheduled to visit Budapest for discussions including a meeting with Prime Minister Viktor Orban. Local journalists suggest that during this visit, Nawrocki is expected to express support for Orban ahead of the upcoming elections, perceiving the visit as a gesture of endorsement for the ruling leader of Hungary.

This visit is particularly significant as it coincides with the 'Great Assembly' in Budapest, an event featuring a far-right coalition known as Patriots for Europe, which will include pro-Kremlin figures such as Marine Le Pen from France and Matteo Salvini from Italy. The overlap of these events has drawn sharp criticism from Polish politicians, who express alarm that Nawrocki's participation in a gathering associated with pro-Russian and Eurosceptic politicians represents a serious misstep and a troubling strategy for Polish diplomacy.

The implications of Nawrocki's visit extend beyond political ties, as it raises concerns about Poland's stance within the European Union regarding cooperation with Hungary, especially given its current political climate characterized by Euroscepticism and shifting allegiances. Critics within Poland worry that this support could align Poland more closely with Hungary's controversial political approach, potentially impacting Poland's foreign relations and domestic political landscape.
