Parliament expected to formally back Tusk on Monday, ending eight years of Law and Justice party rule
Poland’s prime minister has lost a vote of confidence in parliament, clearing the path for a three-way pro-European alliance of opposition parties headed by the former European Council leader Donald Tusk to take power later this week.
The vote on Monday brought to an end eight years of rule by the nationalist Law & Justice (PiS) party, accused of illegally eroding the rule of law, turning state media into propaganda outlets, rolling back minority rights and fomenting feuds with the EU.
