Warsaw ¨C Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk called Monday for a parliamentary confidence vote in a bid to demonstrate continuing support for his pro-EU government, after nationalist Karol Nawrocki won the presidential election.
European far-right leaders welcomed the election of the 42-year-old Nawrocki, a fan of U.S. President Donald Trump who has said he will oppose the government¡¯s progressive agenda on abortion and LGBTQ rights.
He won Sunday¡¯s runoff in the highly polarized EU and NATO member state with 51% of the vote to 49% for Tusk¡¯s liberal ally Rafal Trzaskowski.
