Donald Tusk, a leader of a centrist party, has returned as Poland’s Prime Minister after a vote in parliament, marking the end of eight tumultuous years of Law and Justice party rule. The vote, which took place on December 11, saw Tusk secure 248 votes in support in the 460-seat lower house of parliament. Tusk, a former EU leader, is expected to restore democratic standards and improve ties with allies. His leadership is seen as a consequential change for Poland, where the previous government was accused of eroding democratic norms.
