Polish Cabinet Reshuffle: Tusk Attempts to Stabilize Coalition

In an effort to address dwindling approval ratings, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has reshuffled his cabinet, elevating Radoslaw Sikorski to deputy prime minister. Sikorski, retaining his role as foreign minister, is expected to bring stability to the government.

The reshuffle also sees Finance Minister Andrzej Domanski assuming control of the economy portfolio, while a new energy ministry, headed by Milosz Motyka from the PSL party, is established. This move is part of Tusk's centrist, pro-European agenda.

The changes come amidst growing tensions within the Civic Coalition following nationalist Karol Nawrocki's presidential win. Judge Waldemar Zurek is set to lead the justice ministry, focusing on reforming the rule of law, a contentious issue under the previous government.
