"Poland's Opposition Takes Power, Slowing Transition of Government"

Poland's parliament held its inaugural session and elected a new speaker, Szymon Hołownia, signaling a shift in power away from the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party. Hołownia promised a break from the practices of the previous government, including making the parliament more accessible and ending corruption. The opposition three-party coalition now controls the legislative agenda, but President Andrzej Duda designated outgoing Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki as the new PM, giving him four weeks to form a new cabinet. If the coalition fails to form a government, the opposition will take power in mid-December. However, ruling the country will be challenging as Duda can veto legislation and the coalition lacks the votes to override him.

"Philly City Council Embraces Progressive Power and New Leadership in Era of Turnover"

Philadelphia City Council is undergoing significant changes with the election of two progressive third-party members, Kendra Brooks and Nicolas O'Rourke, who won seats traditionally held by Republicans. This leaves only one Republican on the council. The council will also have a majority of inexperienced members, with two-thirds serving one term or less. The new leadership, including mayor-elect Cherelle Parker, a centrist Democrat, raises questions about the influence and power of the progressive faction. The council has recently shifted ideologically to the right, but the new members may bring a more progressive agenda focused on affordable housing, climate change, and economic justice. The leadership style of Councilmember Kenyatta Johnson, the likely next Council president, will play a role in how the chamber organizes itself and addresses political and policy disagreements. The success of the council will also depend on its relationship with Mayor-elect Parker.
