Tusk Reshuffles Cabinet, Adds Energy Ministry

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk announced a major cabinet reshuffle following his coalition's defeat in the presidential election and declining poll numbers. The changes include promoting Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski to deputy prime minister, merging the finance and economy ministries under Andrzej Domanski, and creating a new energy ministry led by Miłosz Motyka. Justice Minister Adam Bodnar will be replaced by Waldemar Żurek, who is expected to continue judicial reforms. The reshuffle reduces the number of ministries and is intended to strengthen Tusk’s control and stabilize his pro-EU coalition amid internal and public pressures. Recent polls indicate public skepticism about the reshuffle's effectiveness. The restructuring sets the stage for future tensions with the new opposition-backed president.
