But there is a catch: the Polish opposition is prepared to take over the government

Date:

The pro-European opposition in Poland has signed a coalition agreement and is ready to take over the government. “From now on, we are ready to take responsibility for our country and for the coming years,” opposition leader Donald Tusk said in Warsaw on Friday. But there is a catch: the opposition has not yet received an order from President Andrzej Duda to form a government.

Despite the opposition’s victory in the elections, Duda had only a few days ago tasked previous Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki with forming a government. Morawiecki belongs to the right-wing nationalist PiS, which is close to Duda.

A majority for the right-wing nationalist PiS is unlikely
The PiS was the strongest force in October’s parliamentary elections, but won only 194 of the 460 seats. It is considered very unlikely that it will win a parliamentary majority together with other partners.

In contrast, the opposition liberal-conservative civilian coalition led by former Prime Minister Tusk and their two coalition partners – the center alliance Third Way and the Left – has a majority with 248 parliamentary seats.
