Polish PM Donald Tusk said Monday he would call a confidence vote to reaffirm support for his pro-EU government after nationalist Karol Nawrocki narrowly won Sunday’s presidential election. Though Tusk's coalition holds a parliamentary majority, experts warn Nawrocki’s victory could deepen existing internal divisions.
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Monday called for a parliamentary confidence vote in a bid to demonstrate continued support for his pro-EU government after a nationalist candidate won the presidential election.
In a televised address, Tusk said he would "ask for a vote of confidence in the lower house soon" in his coalition government.
He voiced hope that he would be able to cooperate with president-elect Karol Nawrocki.
"As prime minister, I will not stop for a moment my work and our common struggle for the Poland of our dreams... free, sovereign, safe and prosperous," Tusk said.
