There is a clear and sizable distinction between the administrations led by Mateusz Morawiecki and Donald Tusk. A voter states support for Morawiecki’s government, recalling times when Tusk was in power. In a conversation with PAP, Paweł Kukiz acknowledged that Tusk would need to address citizen-centered demands before he would consider backing him.
On Monday, the Prime Minister of Poland, Mateusz Morawiecki, is expected to address the Sejm, followed by a confidence vote on his cabinet. If the government fails to secure a majority, Poland would enter a second constitutional step, where the Sejm would appoint a new prime minister. The leading candidate from the KO, PSL, Polski 2050 and the Left coalition would then be the head of PO, Donald Tusk.
In an interview with PAP, Paweł Kukiz reaffirmed his intention to vote for Morawiecki’s government.
The speaker hopes Morawiecki will outline political reforms that align with the pre-election agreement with Law and Justice, an item he believes is crucial for progress.
– he stated.
The voter added that he would not support Donald Tusk, citing memories of his governance as the reason.
– Kukiz observed.
In his view, there is a substantial difference between Morawiecki’s administration and Tusk’s when it comes to overall benefits for Poland.
Of course, the voter would consider changing his stance if Tusk emphasizes reform of the electoral law, lowers thresholds for referendums, and introduces a real citizen referendum mechanism that is not controlled by politicians. .
– he explained.
If such statements are made, he would reassess his position, though he recalls the famous four YES votes and the idea of allowing pro-citizen demands by the PO-PSL governments that were never enacted.
– he added.
PO action
As part of the Say 4xYES for Poland campaign, PO gathered signatures in 2004 for a referendum asking Poles four questions: whether to abolish the Senate, cut the number of deputies in half, create single-member districts for Sejm elections, and eliminate parliamentary immunity.
At the end of November, President Andrzej Duda swore in the new Morawiecki government, formed after the parliamentary elections in what was described as the first constitutional step. On Monday, December 11, the Prime Minister was expected to present a statement to the Sejm with a motion to obtain a vote of confidence. If the motion fails and PiS holds 191 MPs, which is not a majority, the Sejm would take the initiative on selecting the prime minister and government.
The majority, 248 MPs, is held by the coalition of KO, Third Way and the Left; their candidate for prime minister is Donald Tusk.
According to the Sejm schedule, parliamentarians would elect the prime minister in the second constitutional step on Monday at 4:30 p.m. A debate would follow, and at 8 p.m. votes would be cast on the prime ministerial appointment.
On Tuesday, December 12 at 9 a.m., the incoming prime minister would present the action program and the government composition, along with a proposal for appointing the Council of Ministers. The timetable indicates a vote at 3 p.m.
The Sejm appoints the Prime Minister and the Council of Ministers named by him by an absolute majority of votes, with at least half of the legal deputy headcount present.
