#Tusk: Donald Tusk re-elected for a second term as President of the European Council : EU Reporter
EU Reporter Correspondent |The European Council today (9 March) re-elected Donald Tusk as its president for a second term of two-and-a-half years, from 1 June 2017 to 30 November 2019. Donald Tusk was also re-appointed as president of the European Council Summit for the same period. Jacek Saryusz-Wolski MEP's cavalier attempt to usurp Tusk was a non-starter and an impressive faux pas by an experienced politician. Tusk has been seen as a safe pair of hands during his mandate. Tusk received the backing of 27 member states – notably not his own.
Mr Kaczynski blames Mr Tusk for a plane accident in Smolensk in 2010 that killed his twin brother Lech, then Poland's president. Ms Szydlo nominated Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, an obscure member of the European Parliament who helped negotiate Poland's EU accession, to replace Mr Tusk. Mr Tusk is hardly the only target of the paranoid conspiracy theories that have become official doctrine in Poland. Yesterday Mr Tusk warned that burned bridges cannot be crossed again. DONALD TUSK'S appointment as president of the European Council in 2014 seemed to cap Poland's journey to the heart of the European Union.
