    Morawiecki lost the vote of confidence

    Poland’s Law and Justice (PiS) government faced a defeat as it lost a crucial vote of confidence in the Sejm, the lower house of the Polish parliament. In a significant turn of events, 266 Members of Parliament opposed the government, while 190 supported it.

    With the opposition parties holding sway in the Sejm, a new coalition government appears inevitable. The coalition is poised to include three opposition groupings—Civic Coalition, the Third Way, and the new Left—and will be led by Donald Tusk.

    The upcoming proceedings in the Sejm are anticipated to nominate Donald Tusk as the prime ministerial candidate on Monday. Subsequently, Tusk, who previously served as prime minister from 2007 to 2014 in the Civic Platform governments, is scheduled to present his government’s program to the Sejm on Tuesday. This presentation will be followed by a crucial vote of confidence.

    If all goes according to plan, Tusk and his cabinet could be sworn in as early as Wednesday. Andrzej Duda, the Polish president, is expected to officiate the swearing-in ceremony.
