Polish opposition leader Donald Tusk has expressed confidence that he will become Poland’s prime minister on 11 or 12 December.
Tusk said this after a meeting with Sejm speaker Szymon Holownia.
He noted that on 11 December, the Sejm will listen to Mateusz Morawiecki’s keynote speech. According to him, on the same day, if “time permits”, a new prime minister will be chosen.
“So expect a new government on 11 December, if time permits. If it does not allow – on 12 December,” Tusk was quoted by RIA Novosti as saying.
As the agency notes, the likelihood of Morawiecki receiving a vote of confidence for his government is extremely small, as his Law and Justice party does not have a parliamentary majority.
It is specified that the opposition has a majority in the Sejm, under a preliminary agreement it is expected to nominate Tusk for the post of prime minister.
On 10 November, a coalition of Polish opposition parties Civic Coalition, Third Way and the Left approved Tusk’s candidacy for the post of the country’s future prime minister.
