Polish Sejm expresses confidence in Government


Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk has won a vote of confidence in his pro-EU government after his political camp narrowly lost the recent presidential election, the BBC reports.

 

Some 243 parliamentarians voted in favour of the coalition government, with 210 voting against and no abstentions.

 

This vote has been seen by some as a piece of political theatre on the part of Tusk – a way of showing his broad coalition still has a mandate despite the presidential election defeat.

 

Wednesday’s vote was also a formality. Tusk’s coalition has a 12-seat majority in the lower house, the Sejm, and only a simple majority in the presence of half the 460 parliamentarians was required to win.
