"Poland's Transition to a Pro-EU Government: Donald Tusk Takes the Lead"
TL;DR
Poland begins a delayed transition to a centrist, pro-EU government as outgoing national conservative leaders make their farewell statements and a majority of lawmakers prepare to elect Donald Tusk as the new prime minister. The power transition, which was delayed by the president, comes after Poles voted for change in a national election. The change of power is seen as consequential for the country, with relief for women and LGBTQ+ people who faced eroded rights, but concerns from conservative supporters. The transition also has implications for Ukraine and the EU, with Tusk expected to improve Warsaw's standing in Brussels.
