Tusk's Polish government survives vote, avoids early elections

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government survived a vote of confidence, securing its position and avoiding early elections despite the opposition's calls for his resignation. This outcome allows the current coalition to govern until the autumn of 2027. The vote of confidence followed the victory of opposition candidate Karol Nawrocki in the presidential election, which raised questions about the government's stability. Tusk's government now faces the challenge of addressing internal divisions and regaining public trust, while the opposition aims to weaken the government through presidential vetoes and potential alliances. The article also discusses the political landscape, including the potential for a coalition between the Law and Justice party and the far-right Confederation party, and the upcoming government reshuffle planned for July. The appointment of anti-Ukrainian politician Przemysław Czarnek to a key role in the presidential office is also highlighted.
