Poland's food scene is rejoicing in a historic achievement after seven of its restaurants have been awarded Michelin stars — the most in its history. The 2025 edition of the Michelin Guide covers Warsaw, Krakow, Poznań, Gdańsk, and (for the first time) Wrocław.

One week after Poland's closest presidential election in decades, public institutions are under mounting pressure to address a string of vote-counting errors that have fueled protests and rising political tension. Conservative Karol Nawrocki won the presidency with 50.89% of the vote—only 369,591 votes more than liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski. This narrow margin has magnified the significance of even minor mistakes in local polling station reports.
Karol Nawrocki, the President-elect of Poland, revealed that U.S. President Donald Trump had a very good" conversation with "close allied relations" and attacked them both in the way they are viewed by the media. During the call, Nawrocki said, both of them invited each other — with Trump, so he said, inviting him to the White House and Nawrocki inviting him to Poland.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says his ruling coalition is not contesting the results of the hotly contested presidential runoff election that pitted conservative opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki against liberal Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski and ended up with Nawrocki edging out Trzaskowski.

Ukrainian refugees have much to the robust Polish economy, boosting the GDP by 2.7 percent in 2024. This is three years after the Russian invasion, and the big wave of Ukrainians to Poland. Growing public frustration and promises to cut the refugees' support notwithstanding, an extended follow-up of findings shows the refugees have had a largely positive impact.
1965, San Francisco was declared America’s gay capital, with the Castro as its most visible emblem.
