Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has called for a confidence vote following a narrow defeat in the presidential elections against nationalist Karol Nawrocki. Tusk's coalition aims to reverse controversial judicial reforms implemented by the previous government, which have drawn criticism from the EU for undermining democracy. As Nawrocki is expected to block these efforts, Tusk faces mounting pressure to deliver on key reforms, particularly regarding women's rights. Critics argue that little has changed under his leadership since December 2023, raising questions about his future.
Tusk stated, 'The vote of confidence should be a new opening,' emphasizing his determination to overcome the challenges posed by Nawrocki's presidency.
While Tusk's government holds a parliamentary majority, critics claim that reform efforts stalled, with little change achieved since his rise to power in December 2023.
