Polish parliament’s speaker, Szymon Hołownia, announced that a confidence vote for Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government will take place on June 11. This follows the recent presidential election on June 1, where nationalist candidate Karol Nawrocki, backed by the Law and Justice (PiS) party, won with 50.89% of the vote against Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski’s 49.11%. Tusk’s centrist, pro-European government has been navigating challenges, including judicial reforms and EU relations, which were strained under the previous PiS administration. The confidence vote aims to project the government’s strength amid Nawrocki’s euroskeptic stance and his potential to veto Tusk’s legislative agenda. The Polish stock market saw a slight decline, with the WIG20 index dropping 3.39% on June 2, reflecting market reactions to the political shift. Further coalition discussions are expected.
