Tusk, tusk

摘要

Poland's centrist government is being battered on all sides. Growth is slowing, unemployment remains high, and a combination of austerity and scandal is stoking public discontent. Jaroslaw Kaczynski, leader of the opposition Law and Justice party, has gained a new lease of life. A rally this autumn drew a large crowd, and several opinion polls put his party in the lead. Shortly after Donald Tusk's Civic Platform won the 2011 election, he started some brave, unpopular reforms, and the fiscal tightening that his economically liberal supporters had long hoped for.
