Prime minister seeks to shore up his fragile coalition and vows not to back down

Donald Tusk says he will call a vote of confidence in his government to try to shore up support for his coalition after a bruising setback in Poland’s presidential election.

In his first public comments since Sunday’s election result was declared, the prime minister sought to regain momentum as he promised to “get to work” and submit a number of draft laws.

Congratulating the supporters of the rightwing opposition candidate, Karol Nawrocki, on his win, Tusk said late on Monday the government had a “contingency plan” and vowed to “not stop even for a moment” and double down on his legislative agenda.
