The future leader of Poland, Donald Tusk, wants to bring his country closer to the EU. Poland will be a strong part of NATO and a strong ally of the US and will gain a leading position in Europe, Tusk said in the House of Representatives on Tuesday. An isolated Poland is exposed to the greatest risks.
As the new Prime Minister, Tusk also wants to convince the West to provide more support to the attacked Ukraine. Tusk said in his government statement that he could no longer hear when some Western politicians spoke of being fed up with the situation in their neighboring country.
“Full mobilization of the free Western world”
Since the beginning of the Russian war of aggression, Poland has been one of Ukraine’s main political and military supporters. However, recently there have been tensions between Warsaw and Kiev under the previous government of the national-conservative PiS. “We will loudly and resolutely demand the full mobilization of the free Western world to support Ukraine in this war,” Tusk said.
The former president of the EU Council and former opposition leader was ordered by Parliament on Monday to form a government and will be sworn in as the new prime minister on Wednesday. This will result in a change of power in Poland to a pro-European government.
Turning point in Warsaw
Parliament voted 248 to 201 to appoint 66-year-old Tusk of the liberal-conservative electoral alliance Citizens Coalition as the new head of a three-party alliance together with the “Third Way” and “New Left”. The incumbent Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki (PiS) had previously lost a vote of confidence. The new government could end Poland’s long-standing dispute with the EU over controversial judicial reform and the allocation of billions of euros in frozen EU funds.
