Poland's Outgoing PM Gets Temporary Reappointment as Pro-EU Parties Prepare to Take Control
-
Poland's president is swearing in outgoing PM Mateusz Morawiecki for a 14-day term after Morawiecki's party (Law and Justice) lost its parliamentary majority in recent elections.
-
Morawiecki has little chance of building a new coalition, but the move allows Law and Justice to make more appointments and extend its influence.
-
Law and Justice won the most votes but lost its majority, holding only 194 of 460 seats.
-
Three pro-EU parties together hold 248 seats and will likely form a new government, with Donald Tusk as prime minister.
-
Tusk is on track to replace Morawiecki as PM on December 11th when Morawiecki's 14-day term expires.
