Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned a coalition partner that he will remove it from the government if it votes to dismiss a cabinet minister in a no-confidence vote due to take place this month.
Tusk told reporters on April 17 that an upcoming parliamentary vote on climate minister Paulina Hennig-Kloska would be a test of coalition loyalty and that he would not tolerate any rebellion.
“If it turns out you’re not with us, we’ll say goodbye,” he said, addressing Poland 2050, one of four parties that make up his coalition government.
Poland 2050 is a centrist party founded by TV celebrity and presidential candidate of 2020 Szymon Hołownia which formed the “Third Way” electoral alliance with the centre-right Polish People’s Party (PSL) in 2023.
