Donald Tusk Takes Office as Polish Prime Minister, Facing Challenges of Populist Politics

Poland's new parliament has elected centrist party leader Donald Tusk as prime minister, following the rejection of the proposed conservative government. Tusk, a former Polish prime minister and European Council president, aims to rebuild relations with the European Union and secure the release of frozen EU funds. The coalition government, consisting of pro-EU parties, won the national elections and signed an agreement last month.
