"Poland's Conservative Rule Ends as Donald Tusk Assumes Prime Minister Position"

Donald Tusk and his Cabinet members have been sworn in as Poland's new pro-European Union government, marking the end of eight years of conservative rule by the Law and Justice party. Tusk, who previously served as prime minister and held a top EU position, aims to restore democratic norms and mend strained relations with foreign allies. The government won a confidence vote in parliament, despite a far-right lawmaker's antisemitic provocation during a Hanukkah celebration. Tusk faces challenges such as restoring democratic standards, securing EU funding, and addressing irregular migration. He also plans to strengthen European support for Ukraine and boost defense potential.
