Polish President Unlikely to Block Tusk’s Appointment as PM
1 December 2023
The long race of Poland’s election has finally drawn to a close, but who were the real winners and losers of the competition?
On 15 October 2023, Poles went to the polls to elect a new parliament and government. Unexpectedly, the opposition triumphed after a protracted and gruelling campaign that resembled a marathon in many ways. Fittingly, Poland’s opposition was led by Donald Tusk, an avid runner.
Tusk once wrote on social media about his goals before a 20km race in 2018 – “Minimum: to survive; Realistic: to reach the finish line.” This time around, he and the opposition finished strong, not just surviving but breaking the tape as winners. But, like every running competition, the Polish election also had its losers.
In the spirit of my favourite website, Letsrun.com, here are those individuals and groups that initially seem to have won, lost or just survived Poland’s 2023 contest.
