Poland’s Presidential Vote Puts Tusk’s Reform Agenda at Stake

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s push to undo eight years of populist rule faces a reckoning just as other parts of Europe struggle to contain rising support for more conservative, nationalist forces.

Since he returned to power in the European Union’s fifth-biggest economy less than two years ago, Tusk’s agenda has been held back by internal divisions and the threat of vetoes by outgoing President Andrzej Duda, an ally of the now opposition Law & Justice party.
