US EditionPolish PM Tusk Calls for Confidence Vote Following Nationalist Nawrocki's Presidential Victory
- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for a confidence vote in parliament on June 11 following Karol Nawrocki's presidential win.
- Tusk triggered the vote after his liberal ally, Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, narrowly lost to the nationalist Nawrocki in a tight race on June 1.

- The confidence vote will test Tusk's government's stability amid fears of political deadlock and possible early parliamentary elections in a deeply polarized Poland.
