Update: Poland’s New Conservative Prime Minister Has Been Sworn into Office

After Poland’s parliamentary elections in October that I posted about, the center-right party won the most votes and seats in the Polish Parliament, but was short of the necessary majority to form a government. After the President, who is from the ruling far-right party that was defeated because of its drift toward authoritarianism, gave a mandate to the conservative party leader to form a government, a coalition government was assembled with smaller parties. The former President of the European Union was sworn into office last month as the Polish Prime Minister, along with his cabinet ministers. Poland is an ally of the United States in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and is a bulwark against the Russian Federation. The new Polish Government is continuing its arms support for Ukraine against Russian aggression.
