In late October 2026, Polish Finance and Economy Minister Andrzej Domański faced significant political pressure following a no-confidence motion filed by the Law and Justice (PiS) party. The Polish Sejm rejected the motion, with 234 deputies opposing dismissal against 204 in favor. Opposition lawmakers raised concerns regarding rising public debt and budget deficits, while the government defended its fiscal position by citing high defense spending and the necessity of repaying inherited debts. Following the vote, Prime Minister Donald Tusk requested that President Karol Nawrocki appoint Domański as Deputy Prime Minister.

Shortly after the parliamentary vote, Domański addressed the 4th Polish-German Economic Forum in Warsaw, where he outlined Poland’s stance on energy security and geopolitical strategy. He declared that Poland would not return to ‘business as usual’ with Russia and would not permit the continued use of Russian raw materials, specifically mentioning Russian gas. Domański urged European partners to avoid ‘economic naivety’ and emphasized the need for competitive energy markets and the securing of critical raw materials.
