“Not only is the public impatient, Brussels and Berlin are also waiting for new partners,” wrote the German daily “Die Welt” about the change of power in Poland, noting that points of contention were already starting to emerge. Similar things were also heard in other German media.

Mati Welt

According to the newspaper, the initial euphoria associated with the change of government has diminished within two months of the election, and voters now want to see quick results from the new government’s activities. “Die Welt” also reminded that PiS repeatedly discredited Donald Tusk during the election campaign as a man from Brussels or Germany.

Tusk does not want to exaggerate these accusations and will focus on expectations in Warsaw rather than in Brussels or Berlin

– we read in the newspaper.

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Meanwhile, the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” wrote that on the day when PiS had to hand over power, the Constitutional Court, controlled by this party, issued a decision against the EU.

This anti-European decision is a welcome message from Warsaw’s constitutional judges to the new government, which the EU’s partners should also take seriously. This shows what resistance Tusk will have to face and what internal political restrictions he will impose in Brussels

– Reinhard Veser comments on “FAZ”.

Political

Meanwhile, the Politico portal rejoices that the rule of law and justice is out of date.

Poland says goodbye to PiS and welcomes Donald Tusk. On Monday, after eight years in power, PiS returned it; that evening, Donald Tusk was approved by parliament as a candidate to lead the new government, marking a revolution both in internal politics and in Warsaw’s relations with the outside world.

– claim the portal. According to Politico, Donald Tusk is in a hurry now.

Tusk wants to attend the EU-Balkan summit on Wednesday evening, and he certainly wants to be in Brussels on Thursday at the start of the EU leaders’ summit, where he will probably announce a radical change in Warsaw’s approach to Brussels and will seek to end the current conflict. has been going on for eight years

Dead Zeit

Meanwhile, German weekly “Die Zeit” expects a “major purge” in the country following the PiS government.

The era of national-conservative governments that enjoyed fomenting anti-European and anti-German sentiment is over. Ultimately, however, PiS made life difficult for Tusk’s government

– said the newspaper. According to him, “President Duda, in particular, may be a problem, as the outgoing PiS party has important political allies.”

The constitution gives the president special powers that will make it difficult for the new government to restore the rule of law: he can veto any law passed by the government and parliament – ​​and thereby crush any reforms. According to the constitution, the veto can be overridden in parliament, but the opposition currently does not have enough votes to overturn it.

– complained “Zeit”. Other obstacles for Tusk are the Constitutional Court, the central bank and the prosecutor’s office.

The new government wants to restore the rule of law in Poland and must do so by dismantling the illegal PiS system – without being accused of behaving like its predecessor. This is not an easy task

– said the newspaper.

Washington Post

The American “Washington Post” wrote about “a moment of catharsis for many Poles.”

Excitement is related to high expectations of the new authority

– claims the newspaper. According to “WAPO”, congratulations poured in from all over the continent on Monday evening when the Warsaw Palace of Culture was illuminated in the colors of the Polish flag.

There is a feeling that we can now return to some semblance of normalcy, in terms of what the state is and whether public institutions are respected.

Guardian

The British Guardian is not entirely confident in this return to normality.

Donald Tusk declared “to drive out darkness… to drive out evil” after eight years of national conservative rule, after Poland’s parliament backed his candidacy as the country’s new prime minister. However, analysts say there will be no miracles as the new government will fight PiS on a daily basis

– said the newspaper.

El Pais

The Spanish left-wing group “El Pais” also rejoiced at the change of power in Poland.

On Monday, Poland ended the eight-year rule of its ultra-conservative Law and Justice government, which saw the country marginalized in the European Union for violating the rule of law. The Sejm, the lower house of parliament, rejected the coronation of Mateusz Morawiecki and hours later elected Donald Tusk as prime minister in an emotional session.

– write a newspaper. According to him, “Donald Tusk’s return to power ends the era of ultraconservatism in Poland.” Although not in Europe. The Spanish daily also dreams of “normalizing relations between Warsaw and Brussels.”

The new Liberal prime minister hopes to attend the European Council this week within hours of his inauguration to begin repairing the rule of law and his relationship with Brussels.

Taz

Gabriele Lesser in German “Taz” has a vision to eliminate Jarosław Kaczyński’s immunity. Because he “insulted” Donald Tusk by calling him a “German agent” in the Sejm.

This matter must be tried ex officio. Tusk, who minutes earlier had been beaming with joy, thanking lawmakers and dedicating victory day to his two grandfathers, sat terrified on the lawmakers’ bench. He may have hoped that the story of his grandparents, who, as members of the Kashubian minority, suffered in Nazi concentration camps, would end PiS’s long-standing hate campaign against him. But he was wrong.

– said Lesser.
