POLAND GOVERNMENT PARLIAMENT

Polish president meets with newly-elected Lower House speaker

epa10980717 Polish President Andrzej Duda (L) welcomes the recently-elected Lower House Speaker Szymon Holownia (R) before their meeting at the Presidential Palace in Warsaw, Poland, 17 November 2023. A new government composed of Poland's three pro-EU opposition parties may be ready on 11-12 December, Szymon Holownia, one of the Third Way coalition leaders,said after a meeting with the president. The centrist Civic Coalition (KO), the centre-right Third Way and the New Left have all vowed to form a new government after the 15 October general election. Despite the ruling party, the socially-conservative Law and Justice (PiS), apparent failure, the president announced he would give the first attempt of leading the new Polish government to incumbent Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki of PiS, although his chances to win a vote of confidence in parliament are close to none, as all the other parties have ruled out their support for him.
