Poland heads to the polls on Sunday for a presidential election that will act as a bellwether on the country’s political direction.

The pro-European Union government in Warsaw says this vote has the potential to reinvigorate its position, while the nationalist opposition sees it as a chance to “Make Poland Great Again” in the vein of U.S. President Donald Trump’s “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) promise.
