The conservative opposition in Poland has launched an initiative to oust Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government, warning of submitting a no-confidence motion in Parliament.

Instead of the current government, the opposition proposes the establishment of a temporary technical administration that would be headed by former Parliament Speaker Marek Jurek.

The news was made known by former Polish Prime Minister Matthews Morawiecki, who declared: We’re presenting a no-confidence motion to Donald Tusk’s government.

According to Morawieck, the proposed technical government would remain in office until next elections, which would determine a new parliamentary majority.

This movement marks a further escalation of the political crisis in Poland, which has deepened following the clash over the country’s Constitutional Court.

Polish President Carol Nawrocki has described the situation as a violation of constitutional order and an attempt to take control of a state constitutional institution.

Due to the developments, he suspended his visit to Senegal, returned to Warsaw at night and called urgent consultations with parliamentary parties.

The crisis began after Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska suspended the head of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan Swiecszkowski, and took the helm of the institution. The move was strongly opposed by Swieczkowski himself and the opposition Justice and Law Party (PIS), which deemed it illegal.

On the other hand, Donald Tusk’s government argues that its actions are aimed at restoring rule of law and correcting changes to the judicial system undertaken during the eight years of PPS government, which ended in 2023.

Meanwhile, the opposition accuses the current government of trying to take over independent state institutions, further deepening the political and institutional clashes in the country.
