Donald Tusk poised to lead Poland as prime minister, signaling a shift towards a pro-EU government

Former European Council President Donald Tusk is expected to be appointed as the prime minister of Poland on Monday, as the parliament sitting garners significant attention from the nation. Poland, an EU and NATO member, has seen a surge in interest in the legislature since the October election, which gave a majority to a pro-EU alliance led by Tusk. Incumbent Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki's nationalist Law and Justice party lacks a majority, making it unlikely for him to form a government. If Morawiecki loses the vote of confidence, Tusk has the backing of a clear majority in parliament to become the new prime minister.
