Warsaw: Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk's coalition government survived a vote of no-confidence on Wednesday, as partners maintained their support for the 18-month-old coalition, voting 243 in favor to 210 against in the 460-seat lower house of the chamber. According to Anadolu Agency, lawmakers voted to continue the Civic Coalition's (KO), Third Way-PSL, and Left coalition government. The ruling coalition has 242 MPs, but it received one lawmaker's additional support during the no-confidence vote in parliament. The vote was called two days after KO candidate Rafal Trzaskowski was defeated by opposition PiS-aligned Karol Nawrocki on June 1. PSL earlier this week polled its members to see if they would support forming an alternative governing coalition with the national-conservative PiS and the far-right Confederation, two opposition parties. Tusk announced before the vote that a government spokesman would be appointed in June, followed by a government reshuffle in July. He also praised his government's h ealth care record, which included restoring public funding for in vitro fertilization and securing Poland's border. The main opposition Law and Justice (PiS) benches in parliament were empty, with a few exceptions. Its leader, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, called on the government to resign. The government will begin working on the budget act for 2026 on Thursday.
