Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk will face a vote of confidence in parliament on Wednesday June 11 in an attempt to regain momentum after his camp’s stinging loss in the presidential runoff.
The vote, which Tusk requested, follows the narrow June 1 defeat of Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski to Karol Nawrocki, a right-wing nationalist supported by Law and Justice (PiS) party.
Tusk is expected to survive the vote in the lower house of parliament (Sejm), his government coalition has a parliamentary majority, with 242 seats in the 460-seat body.
