Donald Tusk wins vote of confidence after Polish presidential election blow
Briefly

Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk secured a vote of confidence in parliament with 243 votes favoring his coalition, amidst increased scrutiny after a recent presidential loss. Tusk leads a diverse and politically fragile alliance aiming to restore democratic norms eroded by the previous ruling Law and Justice party. Despite facing criticism, Tusk's coalition hopes to push forward progressive reforms. The unexpected victory of a PiS-backed candidate in the presidential election raised doubts about the coalition's ability to implement its agenda, intensifying scrutiny of Tusk's leadership popularity and the government's track record among voters.
The vote of confidence on Wednesday was passed by 243 votes in favour to 210 against, securing Tusk's leadership amidst rising scrutiny.
Tusk's coalition has promised to reverse the erosion of democratic checks and balances instituted by the Law and Justice party over the past eight years.
