We need political order in the country after the political earthquake that the presidential election was, said Tusk to reporters.
This government will focus on strengthening security, both when it comes to our eastern border, when it comes to preparing for potentially aggressive behavior from our eastern neighbors, and also when it comes to working decisively for order at the country's borders, said Tusk.
Poland, which is both an EU and NATO member, shares a border with both Russia and Belarus and accuses both countries of orchestrating refugee flows to Poland.
The number of ministers in the new government is reduced from 26 to 21. The former interior minister Tomasz Siemoniak gets a completely new ministerial post that will focus on the fight against illegal immigration. Maciej Kierwinski becomes the new interior minister and Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski will also take over the role of vice prime minister.
In June, Tusk's government survived a vote of confidence in parliament.
