Symbolic Cabinet Sworn In as PiS Protests Election Loss to Tusk Coalition
- Polish President Duda swore in PM Morawiecki and a new cabinet, though they are expected to only be in office for 14 days maximum.
- Morawiecki and his Law and Justice (PiS) party lost the recent election to an opposition coalition led by former PM Tusk.
- The opposition parties have enough seats for a majority in parliament and reiterated they will not form a coalition with PiS.
- This is seen as a symbolic move by PiS and leader Kaczyński to protest claims they ruined Poland.
- The opposition mocked the new cabinet as a "meme" that will be short-lived, comparing its duration to a house fly's 28-day lifespan.
