"Donald Tusk: Poland's New Prime Minister, Unraveling Populism"
TL;DR
Donald Tusk has won the backing of the Polish parliament to become the new Prime Minister, marking his return to power after nine years. Tusk's coalition of opposition parties secured a surprising win in the October national election. The outgoing Prime Minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, lost a vote of confidence, ending the nationalist Law and Justice party's eight-year rule. Tusk is expected to form a centrist, pro-EU government and present his Cabinet and governing program on Tuesday. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen congratulated Tusk and highlighted his commitment to European values.
