Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki lost a vote of confidence on Monday, and the country's parliament voted in favour of Donald Tusk becoming prime minister. This puts an end to eight years of nationalist rule and setting the stage for a thawing of relations with the European Union (EU).

Of the 456 members of parliament who voted, 266 voted that they had no confidence in Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who had the support of 190 lawmakers. In a later parliamentary vote, Tusk received the votes of 248 lawmakers, while 201 were against.

The vote effectively ends eight years of rule by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, which critics say undermined judicial independence, turned state-owned media into a propaganda outlet, and fomented prejudice against minorities such as immigrants and the 2SLGBTQ+ community.

Tusk, a former European Council president, has vowed to mend Warsaw's relations with Brussels and unblock billions in funds earmarked for Poland which have been withheld due to concerns over the rule of law.
