Morawiecki continues to stall handover of power in Poland

Warsaw [Poland], November 13: Poland's national conservative former governing party PiS is further delaying the transition of power after the opposition won a majority in the parliamentary elections.
The current Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, who was tasked with forming a government by President Andrzej Duda on Monday, does not want to present his cabinet until the end of November, according to a spokesman.
It is clear that any proposed PiS cabinet will not have a majority backing in parliament, and the move means that the victorious opposition under Donald Tusk will probably have to wait until the beginning of December before he can take office.
According to the constitution, Morawiecki has a period of 14 days from the moment he is tasked with forming a government by the head of state. He assumes that the cabinet will be presented "between day 12 and day 14" of this period, the spokesman for the current government, Piotr Müller, said in Warsaw on Tuesday.
Three pro-European parties led by former EU Council President Tusk won a clear majority of 248 of the 460 seats in the election on October 15. The previous national-conservative governing party PiS won 194 seats and has no coalition partner.
Despite this majority, Duda, who himself comes from the ranks of the PiS, first asked PiS politician Morawiecki to form a government.
Opposition representatives accuse Duda of wanting to delay the transition of power, because Morawiecki's attempts are doomed to failure. Only when he is defeated in parliament will the current opposition get the chance to take power.
