Tusk said the “manifesto” Szczęsny wrote before his death, criticising the creeping authoritarianism of the PiS government, could replace his speech, and read out a fragment: “I protest against the xenophobia introduced by the authorities into public debate … I protest against the hostile attitude of the authorities towards immigrants … I protest against the incapacitation of public television.”
His speech was regularly interrupted by shouts from PiS MPs. Mariusz Błaszczak, a PiS MP and former defence minister, called Tusk’s speech a “festival of lies”.
After condemning the outgoing government, Tusk outlined his own programme for Poland. “The time has come for Poland to be happy,” he said.
In campaign appearances, Tusk promised to introduce more rights for LGBTQ+ people, and roll back restrictive abortion legislation introduced under PiS. It remains unclear how much the new government will be able to change abortion laws, given elements of its own coalition do not back significant liberalisation. Duda, who has veto power over the government, remains in office until 2025.
However, Tusk said on Tuesday that a different climate for Polish women would be felt immediately. “We have developed a programme so that every Polish woman feels a change in the treatment of motherhood, protection of mothers and access to legal abortion,” he said.
“From the very first days, we will take concrete actions to ensure that women feel an immediate improvement in terms of their rights. All women will experience an improvement in their lives.”
Tusk announced the formation of a number of new ministerial positions including for equality, for senior citizens and for civil society.

“Tusk said on Tuesday that a different climate for Polish women would be felt immediately”
Oh I’m sure. Polish women are going to feel quite different when the invaders arrive and realize they can do whatever they want without being prosecuted.
How the hell did he get elected?
Will not end well with a EUROcrat globalist WEFer.
Poland voted for Globohomo when they elected this guy. And it is already started.
Now we will have Cronos on here tomorrow morning arguing that what’s happening isn’t happening and that Tusk in Coalition with the Greens, New Left, Left Together, and other progressive and leftist parties like Modern Party, Polish Initiative Party and Agro Union Party is not a Globohomo operation.
Probably will end up like all the rest. The left destroys whatever it rules.
Wait until the Middle Easterners start showing up in their midst. Poles are not Germans and they will not be too happy about it. This is not like the Poles. Who the hell voted for this guy?
How the hell did he get elected?

My question, too. Election manipulation?
There goes Poland. All it takes is one crazy liberal / communist and the entire society disintegrates. Even electing a “conservative” can’t right the ship after it’s run aground.
Conservatives play prevent defense. Leftists are constantly on offense making gains.
Abortion will probably be liberalized to the 12 week limit as in other European countries and given the large number of Ukrainian refugees, Poland will most likely refuse any Third World migrants. They'll also tinker with the restrictions on the judiciary so the EU will loosen up funding.
Little will change in Poland's support for Ukraine: if anything, Tusk will give more support. This is very broadly agreed upon by almost all parties and the public.
the globalists have been working hard to take over every nation. They will seize power from bribing national leaders, stealing the votes, military coups, or invasion.
Former President of the European Council was put in position of Prime Minister of Poland so he can push for full NATO war against Russia.
“...neither are they keen on Third World immigration. “
Since when did what the public wants matter for immigration policy ?
How did he get elected? I thought the Poles had sense and were serious Catholics.
