The change of power in Poland has finally been sealed since Wednesday morning. Former EU Council President Donald Tusk will lead the country’s destiny as prime minister in the future. Polish President Andrzej Duda has already sworn in Tusk.
Both politicians signed a certificate of appointment to Tusk’s cabinet at Warsaw’s presidential palace on Wednesday. Almost two months after the parliamentary elections, the change of power has been completed. On Tuesday evening, MPs expressed their confidence in Tusk’s government.
A tripartite alliance takes over
The three-way alliance consisting of Tusk’s liberal-conservative Civic Coalition, the Christian-conservative Third Way and the left-wing Lewica alliance won a government majority in the October 15 parliamentary elections. However, the previous national-conservative PiS government had postponed the change of power for a long time with Duda’s help.
Morawiecki loses confidence in parliament
The president, who himself comes from the ranks of the PiS, initially tasked former prime minister and PiS politician Mateusz Morawiecki with forming a government, even though the party did not have a majority in parliament. As expected, Morawiecki failed in the vote of confidence on Monday. Only then was the path clear for Tusk.
