Poland’s Tusk visits Brussels, seeking initiative in repairing ties with EU and unlocking funds

BRUSSELS (AP) — Polish politician Donald Tusk is in Brussels seeking to repair his country’s ties with the European Union. Tusk arrived in Brussels a day after he and other leaders of an opposition bloc that collectively won the most votes in Poland’s Oct. 15 parliamentary election announced that they were prepared to govern together with Tusk as prime minister. Tusk wants to get a head start on unlocking billions of euros in recovery funds that were frozen due to democratic backsliding under the outgoing nationalist government. He made clear that he was in Brussels as leader of the opposition and not as prime minister.
