Donald Tusk shifts political strategy ahead of Polish elections

As the upcoming parliamentary elections approach, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk is shifting political strategies. Following a period of relative inactivity, the political landscape is entering a prolonged campaign phase that is expected to last over a year.

To strengthen his position against the Law and Justice (PiS) party, Tusk is utilizing strategic appointments. One key move involves Maciej Berek, a trusted official, being positioned within the Constitutional Tribunal. This shift suggests a move away from previous attempts to avoid aggressive institutional maneuvers, as the government seeks to fill vacancies within the Tribunal to secure its influence.
