Poland’s president calls for new parliament to hold first session Nov. 13
Associated PressWARSAW, Poland — Poland’s president said Thursday that he is calling the first session of the country’s newly elected parliament for Nov. 13. Duda said there were two serious candidates for the post, the current prime minister, Mateusz Morawiecki, and Donald Tusk, a former prime minister who is the head of an opposition bloc that collectively won a majority of seats in the new parliament - 248 seats in the 460-seat lower house, or Sejm. “Today, we have two serious candidates for the post of prime minister,” Duda said after holding consultations earlier this week with the party leaders. “Time is priceless for Poland at the moment,” Tusk told reporters in Brussels, where he was holding meetings to try to repair ties with the 27-member bloc and to get a head start on unlocking billions of euros in funding that were frozen due to rule of law violations under the government of the past eight years.
