Mr. Tusk’s coalition won in October with a record turnout of 70%.
Tusk aims to restore the independence of the judiciary, unblock €36bn (£30bn) of EU funds earmarked for Poland, reverse a 2020 court decision which banned abortion in almost all cases, and strengthen protections for LGBTQ people.
However, the President is still Mr. Duda, who has the ability to veto any laws or bills that come his way and Tusk’s Parliament does not have the votes to override a presidential veto.
So, my takeaway is that there will likely be some gridlock but I suppose that is better than the alternative.

I hope he can drag Poland back from the brink of Fascism, and help to persuade and to lead some other EU states in the correct direction.
Seriously though this seems like one of the few bright spots in the politics as of late. I really think that Poland could become the next major player in the EU in the keep this up.
Not really the "good" Donald either. It literally ping pongs between him and a right wing government every few years. He already had his chance and blew it, so don't expect something good to come out of it this time.
@CoffeeAddict Good. Now I hope he looks out his office window, sees that there’s an ongoing genocidal invasion going on to his southeast, and acts accordingly.
