Overview

  • Prime Minister Donald Tusk won the confidence vote in the Sejm by 243 to 210, affirming support from his three-party coalition.
  • He called the vote after his endorsed candidate lost the June 1 presidential election to Karol Nawrocki, seeking to reassure coalition partners of their unity.
  • Karol Nawrocki, due to take office on August 6, possesses veto authority expected to stall Tusk’s judicial and abortion reform bills.
  • Tusk has announced a cabinet reshuffle in July to introduce new ministers and address rifts within his coalition.
  • Despite citing economic growth and stronger border security, Tusk’s government remains unpopular and risks legislative deadlock under a divided executive.
