PM Announces Reshuffle Ahead Of EP Elections

POLAND
EM BulletHomepagemarkets-real-timePolitical RiskPolitical Risk BulletBulletEmerging Market NewsPolitical Market News

Wires reporting that Prime Minister Donald Tusk has confirmed that a cabinet reshuffle will take place on 10 May, almost a full month ahead of the European Parliament elections. Earlier in April, Poland's PAP reported on the likelihood of a reshuffle, but claimed that this would come in the wake of the EP election on 9 June. On 10 April Tusk stated he would make a, "very honest assessment of who [in gov't] did well and who did not...And I already have some ideas here, but we will talk about it in June when I am ready with the entire personnel map".

  • Brining forwards the reshuffle would indicate that it has taken on a more serious note, not simply replacing any ministers that could take up EU positions, but a broader move to rebalance the gov't.
  • The tripartite gov't involving Tusk's centre-right Civic Coalition (PO), the Christian democratic Third Way, and the centre-left The Left have managed to hold together at the national level since reaching a governing agreement in late-2023. A reshuffle of the Council of Ministers is likely to prove a delicate business, with each of the three alliances seeking to maintain or gain what they see as the most prestigious or powerful offices of state.
  • In announcing the cabinet reshuffle, Tusk also confirmed that he would be stepping back from duties for a short time to recuperate from illness. Georg von Harrach at Channel 4 News posts on X that Tusk has reportedly being diagnosed with pneumonia.
