A depressing day for Donald Tusk and symptoms of powerlessness

On August 6, 2025, he was expected to look completely different, due to the fact that politicians of the Civic Coalition with Donald Tuski at the head were absolutely convinced that Rafał Trzaskowski wins the presidential election with a clear advantage over Karol Nawrocki. Ultimately, it happened precisely the opposite, possibly with the difference that president Karol Nawrocki did not gain a more clear advantage. The fact that roles can turn around and the favourite does not necessarily win against an absolute debutant in a large policy was known after the first circular of elections.

The little than 2 percent difference between the consequence of Trzaskowski and Nawrocki, with strong support for Sławomir Mentzen and amazingly good consequence of Grzegorz Braun, were the reasons for the future failure of the candidate of the "democratic option". Rafał Trzaskowski believed, however, to the end in his success, to the point that on election night, erstwhile the first survey showed by 0.6% more votes than the competitor gained, without hesitation declared himself a winner. The joy lasted only 2 hours and was muted by a survey of the summertime poll showing the win of Karol Nawrocki, which was yet confirmed by PKW. From that minute on, a shock occurred in the ruling camp, which affected not only the loser, but many politicians from the very top of power.

The last rescue was to be a desperate effort to undermine the election consequence by simply questioning the correct counting of votes, but besides by not acknowledging the resolution of the Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs Chamber. Roman Gierty was liable for carrying out this action, and Donald Tusk and Adam Bodnar were under additional pressure. In specified conditions, the plan was besides to prevent the swearing-in of Karol Nawrocki. The full work of this coup would should be borne by the Marshal of the Sejm Simon Holovnia, but the leader of Poland 2050 did not show the slightest desire to exposure himself to criminal charges threatened with life imprisonment. On the way there was besides a celebrated gathering of Simon Holown with Adam Bielan, Jarosław Kaczyński and Mariusz Kamiński, which yet determined that the swearing-in of president Karol Nawrocki would happen without any obstacles.

This besides happened, and apart from Rafał Trzaskowski, the main disappointment in the case was Donald Tusk. During the National Assembly, the Prime Minister is only a guest, cannot speak, nor has any crucial function to play. The main hero of the day is the recently elected president, and in second place the Marshal of the Sejm, who takes the oath. Therefore, the face of Donald Tusk in all second of the ceremony saw suffering and powerlessness, but the worst was erstwhile president Karol Nawrocki gave his first presidential speech It was not something that Donald Tusk liked, the president sent very circumstantial reservations and expectations towards the government, and he made it clear that the politicians of the ruling coalition were breaking the law.

Tusk's nervousness was not only manifested by the grimaces and gestures observed by almost all political commentators, but besides by the characteristic reaction to the X portal. Donald Tusk tried to distract himself from his own failure and frustration, which usually ends with an attack on PiS or Jarosław Kaczyński. It was no different this time, but Donald Tusk's "shows" did not get a broad and affirmative response.

To the iment utilized form and content of this kind of policyIn the world, it just stopped working. The interaction under Tusk's entry was much little than it was in the electoral run of 2023, and this is simply a clear signal that the old tricks of the president of the Civic Coalition no longer gain anything. With specified an instrumentarium, Donald Tusk does not have much chance in a duel with president Karol Nawrocki, and that specified a duel will take place no of the observers of the Polish political scene has any doubt.
