Morawiecki wins confidence vote in lower house

Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, addressing the Sejm on Thursday, said that if opposition MPs had enough votes, then they should recall the government or stop festering and inventing alternative subjects. As the lower house is dominated by the ruling United Right coalition MPs, the Morawiecki government easily secured a vote of confidence from the chamber. The PM motioning the Sejm for a vote of confidence in his government argued that in the situation of an epidemic and an economic crisis, Poles needed unity, and the government had fulfilled its tasks well, both in terms of controlling the coronavirus outbreak and helping companies. He recalled that last November, the ruling United Right camp won a majority in the lower house of parliament amid a record-high turnout.
