Donald Tusk's Nomination Signals Pro-EU Shift in Poland

Poland's newly elected Parliament rejected a proposed government by the caretaker prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, whose party, Law and Justice, lost its parliamentary majority in an October election. This rejection paves the way for opposition leader Donald Tusk to take over as the leader of Poland. Tusk, a former prime minister and leader of the main opposition party, Civic Coalition, is now poised to form a new government. The installation of a new government headed by Tusk could bring a shift away from the conservative policies of Law and Justice, but the grip of Law and Justice appointees on key institutions may limit the scope for change.
