Post-election briefing:
the new government
On November 19, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki delivered his exposé and won a vote of confidence in his government. This is not the final stage in the formation of the Council of Ministers – the processes of selecting deputy ministers, creating and separating ministries, and the struggle for influence in state-owned companies and in local government institutions still lie ahead.
The first days after the election have shown that the next four years in government will be much more difficult for PiS than the previous four. On the one hand, the Left and Konfederacja have won seats in the Sejm and will challenge the government on social policy and ideological issues; on the other hand, the good election result secured by PiS's coalition partners increased the ambitions of Zbigniew Ziobro and Jarosław Gowin. The biggest challenge for PiS over the coming months will be to counteract the negative effects of the impending economic slowdown and ensure re-election of Andrzej Duda as president.
