On October 31, 2026, former Polish Prime Minister and member of the Polish Sejm Mateusz Morawiecki announced his initiative to initiate a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government. This decision comes in response to the conflict surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal.
Reasons for the Initiative
Morawiecki emphasized that the situation with the Constitutional Tribunal has raised concerns among political forces in Poland. He noted that the idea of rebooting the tribunal is supported not only by his party members but also by representatives of other political forces, including President Karol Nawrocki and Bogdan Święczkowski, who was dismissed from the position of tribunal head on October 30.
Proposal to Create a Technical Government
As part of his initiative, Morawiecki proposed the establishment of a technical government led by former Speaker of the Sejm Marek Jurek. This government is intended to function until the parliamentary elections scheduled for 2027. According to him, this measure is necessary to stabilize the political situation in the country and ensure the proper functioning of the Constitutional Tribunal.
Reactions from the Opposition and Society
Morawiecki's initiative has elicited mixed reactions from society and political opponents. Some experts believe that the vote of no confidence could lead to political instability, while others support the idea of rebooting the government as a way to address existing issues.
