Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk pledged to do more to strengthen security along its entire eastern frontier when he travelled to the border with Belarus on Saturday. Tusk accused Belarus, Russia's ally, of intensifying what he called a “hybrid war” against the West by encouraging migrants to try to cross into the EU. He vowed that Poland would spare no expense on its border security. “I know that there are more and more illegal crossings every day,” Tusk told reporters at the border, where he met with Polish army soldiers, border guard officers and police. He also cited “the growing threat r...

Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk on Friday announced a reshuffle of his cabinet to replace four ministers running for the European Parliament next month. The changes are also seen as a chance to bring new energy into Tusk's government, which took office in December and embarked on deep reforms in many areas, including restoring the independence of the judiciary and the media. "Today comes the time of bringing order," Tusk said, "and this is one of the reasons for which we jointly decided to have these changes." Tusk's pro-European Union government has embarked on a bold effort to reverse th...

In an escalation of their ongoing grievances, farmers from the Polish Farmers’ Union, Orka, staged a sit-in protest at the lower house of parliament Sejm on Thursday, claiming that their livelihoods are threatened on two fronts. “Today we want to protest against the Green Deal, against the opening of the border to products flowing into the country from Ukraine,” a union spokesperson said during a press conference. “We are not thugs or hooligans. We want to protest in a cultural way, to manifest the problems we have in agriculture." Protesters are demanding a meeting with Polish Prime Minister ...

The payment, confirmed on Monday, ends a long wait for the country, whose national plan was approved in June 2022 but remained blocked over persistent concerns about a lack of judicial independence and democratic backsliding. The decline was credited to Law and Justice (PiS), the hard-right party that governed Poland for eight consecutive years and spearheaded far-reaching reforms that expanded political control over the judiciary and packed courts with loyalists. The most controversial reform empowered the disciplinary chamber of the Supreme Court to punish magistrates according to the conten...

An exit poll released after Poland's local and regional elections on Sunday showed Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-EU party trailing the conservative opposition party that governed Poland for eight years until December. But the socially liberal mayor of Warsaw, a Tusk ally, easily won another term in the capital. Sunday's elections were the first electoral test for Tusk's coalition government nearly four months since it took power. Poles voted for mayors, local councilors and representatives to the nation's 16 regional assemblies. The exit polls have a small margin of error and final results ...

Poland saw its most violent protest by farmers and supporters yet Wednesday as some participants threw stones at police and tried to push through barriers around parliament, injuring several officers, police said. Police used tear gas and said they detained over a dozen people and prevented the protesters from getting through to the Sejm, the Polish parliament. Farmers are angry at EU climate policies and food imports from Ukraine. Many similar protests have occurred across the 27-member EU in recent weeks, but this one was decidedly angrier than earlier demonstrations in the central European ...

The hefty figure made headlines when Ursula von der Leyen teased the announcement during a visit to Warsaw last week. "We are impressed by your efforts and those of the Polish people to restore the rule of law as the backbone of your society. A society where everyone plays by the rules. A society where people and businesses can trust the institutions and can hold authorities to account," von der Leyen said speaking next to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The Commission has now formalised the move, giving the green light to two separate decisions that allow the Polish government to access th...
