Tusk's hard times lie ahead

Donald Tusk is the first Polish prime minister to be reinstated in office since the fall of communism. The next four years will show how good he really is, writes the business paper Hospodářské noviny: "Economically speaking Tusk was above all lucky during his first term in office. A week before the fall of Lehman Brothers he bragged that Poland would have the euro within three years. Nevertheless it must be said that Poland was the only European country with a rise in GDP in 2009 - thanks to the strong domestic demand and the wellspring of EU funding. ... The second term will show whether Tusk and his team are really that good. Polish entrepreneurs and economists suspect Warsaw will not be able to navigate a second wave of crisis quite so easily."
