Former EU President Donald Tusk: A Step Backward To Politics In Poland

Former President of the European Council Donald Tusk is expected to announce his candidacy for the presidency of the Polish opposition Civic Platform (PO) party on Saturday, marking his return to politics in his country.

The 64-year-old politician co-founded PO 20 years ago and was his country’s prime minister from 2007 to 2014.

Tusk currently chairs the European People’s Party (EPP) and is a frequent commentator on Polish politics.

“Donald Tusk is back,” said Tomasz Simoniak, VP of PO, ahead of the party’s convention this Friday.

Malgorzata Kidava-Blonska, another MP and Deputy Speaker of the Parliament, believes that Tusk’s return “will solve many of our problems” and is “the path we have all been waiting for.”

Tusk, passionate about football, grew up in the port city of Gdansk (north), where the Solidarity movement was born and faced the communist regime.

Between 2014 and 2019, when he was President of the European Council, he managed crises such as migration and the economic situation in Greece, or difficult Brexit negotiations.

Uncertainty has reigned since Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski, a finalist in last year’s presidential election, announced his willingness to take over the party’s leadership.

According to press reports, Trzaskovsky refused and will not oppose Tusk’s candidacy.

PO ranks third in voting intent polls, behind the conservative-nationalist Law and Justice Party (PiS) and the centrist opposition Poland 2050 party.

PiS has lost a small majority in parliament and relations with the EU are deteriorating due to various problems, such as conflicting judicial reforms.

Elections in Poland are slated for 2023, but analysts estimate that the ruling party may hold elections to avoid a vote of no confidence in parliament.

PiS is also celebrating its congress this Saturday, which is expected to confirm Jaroslaw Kaczynski as its leader.

The party is expected to approve the appointment of 53-year-old Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki as deputy leader, making him the likely successor to 72-year-old Kaczynski.

This week’s poll shows that the ruling right-wing coalition, dominated by PiS, leads with 34% of the vote, followed by Poland 2050 with 17.1% and PO with 16.9%.

The dollar continues to reflect the political scenario

Yesterday, financial agents evaluated the opposite decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) regarding the so-called secret budget. In addition, a decision was made by STF Minister Gilmar Méndez to issue an injunction that would exclude the Bolsa Família from the spending cap rule, with investors trying to understand how this measure would affect the processing of the transitional PEC in the Chamber of Deputies. Oh this PEC!!!!

Since he is an exchange investor, any reading that the budget will be exceeded or become more flexible will negatively affect the exchange market, whether through the PEC or in any other way. We will continue with volatility today.

Looking beyond, the US Central Bank (Fed), although slowing down the pace of monetary tightening at its December meeting, issued a tougher-than-expected statement warning that its fight against inflation was not yet over, raising fears that rising US interest rates will push the world’s largest economy into recession.

The currency market continues to react to political news. The voting on the PEC is saved for today. It is expected that it will indeed be reviewed to open the way tomorrow for discussions on the 2023 budget.

Yesterday, the spot price closed the selling day at R$5.3103.

For today on the calendar we will have an index of consumer confidence in the eurozone. Good luck and good luck in business!!

The EU has reached a political agreement on limiting gas prices – 19.12.2022

Germany sentenced Russian to life imprisonment for political murder by order of Moscow - 12/15/2021
BRUSSELS, DECEMBER 19 (ANSA). European Union countries reached a political agreement on Monday (19) to impose a natural gas price ceiling of 180 euros per megawatt hour (MWh). The main sources of income for Russia and the minimization of the use of energy as a weapon by the regime of Vladimir Putin.

The agreement was approved by a supermajority at a ministerial meeting of member states in Brussels, Belgium, after months of discussions about the best way to contain the rise in natural gas prices in the bloc caused by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. .

The value set by the countries is well below the proposal made by the European Commission, the EU’s executive body, in November: 275 EUR/MWh. However, the countries leading the cap campaign were in favor of an even lower limit, around 100 EUR/MWh.

Germany, always wary of price controls, voted in favor of 180 euros, while Austria and the Netherlands, also skeptical of the cap, abstained. Hungary, the most pro-Russian country in the EU, voted against.

The instrument will enter into force on 15 February, but only if natural gas prices on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange exceed 180 euros/MWh for three consecutive days. In addition, the difference compared to a number of global benchmarks should be more than 35 euros.

Italy, the EU’s biggest supporter of the ceiling, has claimed responsibility for the measure. “This is a victory for Italy, which believed and worked for us to reach this agreement,” Environment and Energy Minister Gilberto Picetto tweeted.

“This is a victory for Italian and European citizens who demand energy security,” he added.

Currently, the gas price in Amsterdam is around 110 EUR/MWh, which is already a reflection of the agreement in Brussels – in August the figure even broke the barrier of 340 EUR/MWh.

However, Russia has already threatened to stop exports to countries that adhere to the ceiling. (ANSA).
