Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wins a vote of trust

Poland Prime Minister Donald Tusk won a vote of confidence in his EU government after his political camp closely lost the last presidential election.

About 243 parliamentarians voted in favor of the coalition government, with 210 voted and abstentions.

Voting on Wednesday was a formality, since the Tusk coalition has a majority of 12 seats in the lower house, Sejm, and just a simple majority in the presence of half of the 460 parliamentarians were obliged to win.

Prior to the vote, Tusk told the Chamber that they could not “close their eyes” to the reality in which his government was faced with “more challenges” thanks to the election of Carol Naroki, which is supported by the right of law and justice (PIS).

The President of Poland may veto the legislation and Nawrocki, a socially conservative supporter of US President Donald Trump, who opposes the entry of Federal Europe and Ukraine to NATO and the EU, is expected to continue to use this power as the conservative defect, Andrzei Duda.

The Tusk coalition lacks a large enough parliamentary majority to cancel the presidential veto. Nothing can be done for this, but confirmation of parliament puts the Tusk government again on the front leg, at least for now.

He also announced that a cabinet adjustment would be held in July.

“Please vote on confidence, because I have the belief, faith and security that we have a mandate to manage, to take full responsibility for what is happening in Poland,” Tusk said.

“We are confronted with two and a half years, under difficult conditions, full mobilization and full responsibility.”

He referred to the recent unsuccessful experience of Polish tennis star Iga Sweet to win the fourth direct title of the French open title in Roland Garros, quoting the famous quote by the Frenchman: “Victory belongs to the most deprived.”

The opposition in parliament is likely to say that Tusk will eventually be as unsuccessful as Iga Sweet has retained his title. Promise as an empty, really, as PIS benches were during Tusk’s speech.

Tusk said his government was more effective on issues that PIS is proud -increased defense costs and more difficult to migrate.

He claims that Poland has returned to the best mass in Europe, citing a recently signed bilateral treaty with France, in which both sides announced that they would reach the other’s assistance in the event of an attack.

At the end, he received a standing ovation from his own benches.

The problems close to the small left -wing coalition partner of the government were largely absent from speech.

He did not mention his promise of the campaign to give a legitimate abortion to Polish women until the 12th week of pregnancy.

This promise is nowhere to be opposed to the opposition of the Conservatives in the coalition and the knowledge that Duda would impose it on a veto.

His government also made a little ahead, thanks to the veto of Duda, with another promise of the campaign – the elimination of political influence from the Polish courts – which made the European Commission take court action against Poland and refuse EU funds.

Brussels has released the funds after the Tusk government promised to cancel the PIS judicial reform, which prompted the PI to blame the double standards committee.

Tusk said that no one was as keen as it was to end Poland’s legal chaos, but he knows that the elected President Nawrocki is likely to continue to use the veto.
