Poland’s Prime Minister Secures Crucial Confidence Vote


(MENAFN) Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk successfully secured a vote of confidence in the Sejm on Wednesday, garnering 243 votes in favor against 210 opposing, with no deputies abstaining.

This vote came amid intense political tensions, aiming to solidify the government’s legitimacy and reinforce its parliamentary coalition.

Under Polish constitutional rules, the government must achieve a simple majority with at least half of the deputies present to pass such a motion. A failure to do so would have forced the prime minister to tender his resignation to the president.

Notably, the decision to call for this confidence vote followed the presidential runoff, where Karol Nawrocki, backed by the ruling PiS party, emerged victorious in Poland’s presidential election.
