“The prime minister’s nationalist Law and Justice party took first place in the elections, and its ally, President Andrzej Duda, gave him a chance to form a government. However, it seems almost impossible, because Morawiecki does not have a majority and all other parties have ruled out cooperation with PiS, whose eight years in power were marked by numerous disputes with the European Union,” he notes.
“Morawiecki must present a new government. It is expected to fail”
The daily indicates that Duda’s decision is widely considered a “tactic of delaying” the appointment of a new government headed by Donald Tusk. “Morawiecki must present the new government to the Sejm on Monday, after which there will be a vote of confidence. He is expected to fail. Then the Sejm will nominate its own candidate, it will probably be Tusk, who will present his government on Tuesday,” we read.
The British newspaper assesses Donald Tusk’s return to power as “triumphant”, but adds that the leader of the Civic Coalition will have to face many challenges. “His coalition will be broad and potentially ineffective, the economic situation is difficult to control, and the budget must be adopted before the end of the year,” comments “The Guardian.”
PiS will remain the largest single party in parliament, with 194 of the 460 seats in the lower house, and is likely to remain a loud and difficult opposition. Duda, who has veto power over parliamentary decisions, is also likely to put the brakes on any ambitious legislative program with progressive intentions, meaning the new government may have to wait until the 2025 presidential elections before having serious legislative options.

World media about the challenges facing Donald Tusk
“” writes directly that Monday is the last day in power of PiS. However, the key goal of the new government headed by Donald Tusk will be to unblock the KPO (EUR 35 billion in the form of EU grants and loans) and EUR 76.5 billion from cohesion policy for 2021-2027.
However, he estimates that the change of power in Poland will also have serious consequences for Ukraine and the European Union. “Tusk, a former EU leader, is expected to improve Warsaw’s position in Brussels. His leadership of the EU’s fifth-largest member by population will strengthen centrist, pro-EU forces at a time when Eurosceptics such as Geert Wilders in the Netherlands are gaining ground by force,” we read.
The agency indicates that the “outgoing nationalist government” was initially one of Ukraine’s strongest allies. “Relations have deteriorated as economic competition from Ukrainian food producers and truck drivers has angered Poles,” writes the Associated Press.
According to the agency, driver blocking is one of many problems that will have to be dealt with immediately. “The protest stopped some of the military equipment imported by charity organizations, and Tusk accuses the outgoing government of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki of mismanaging the situation,” the agency adds. Let us recall that The New York Times wrote in a similar tone about the situation on the Polish border on Thursday, December 7. Deputy Minister of National Defense Marcin Ociepa commented on the article. More in the material below:
