US EditionPolish PM Tusk Calls for Confidence Vote Following Nationalist Nawrocki's Presidential Victory
- Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced that parliament would hold a confidence vote on June 11 following the victory of conservative candidate Karol Nawrocki in the presidential runoff on June 1.
- The confidence vote follows Nawrocki's narrow victory over Tusk's liberal ally, Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, amid deep national divisions revealed by the tight race.
- Nawrocki, a conservative nationalist supported by the Law and Justice party and U.S. Allies, holds veto power that may obstruct Tusk’s pro-European reforms.
- Nawrocki secured victory with 50.89% of the vote and emphasized that maintaining a strong partnership with the United States is a key priority, while Tusk commented that the parliamentary proceedings are beginning under significantly changed political circumstances.
- The vote aims to confirm support for Tusk’s government as Nawrocki’s presidency could stall reforms and intensify political instability before the 2027 general election.
