"Poland's Transition: Tusk Takes the Helm as Prime Minister"

Poland's Law and Justice (PiS) party is expected to lose control after eight years in power, with Donald Tusk set to become the new prime minister. Tusk aims to revolutionize domestic politics and Poland's relationship with the outside world. The transition process involves Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki making a speech, followed by a vote of confidence that he is likely to lose. Tusk, backed by a coalition of opposition parties, will then be nominated as prime minister and present his Cabinet and governing program. Tusk's priorities include unblocking EU pandemic relief funds and restoring the rule of law. However, passing new laws on the judicial system may face challenges if President Andrzej Duda vetoes them. Tusk vows to hold accountable those who broke the law during PiS rule and criticizes the interim government's cost and attempts to maintain influence.
