Morning reports revealed coalition leaders meeting without Tusk, describing a "historic moment" and "crisis turning point" as partners openly discussed replacing the prime minister. Hołownia led what sources called a rebellion, while emergency meetings continued through the day with the stance of "not one step back."
Nawrocki simultaneously assembled his presidential team, confirming Szefernaker as chief of staff while declaring that if the coalition wants to survive, "it should change the prime minister." His direct challenge to Tusk marked the first presidential intervention in the government crisis.
By evening, the situation escalated as PSL surveyed members about potential cooperation with PiS and Konfederacja, while sources reported Tusk "hammering" deputies in closed meetings, sensing his government might fall. Legal pressures mounted with new criminal complaints against Tusk and his ministers, while international tensions spiked over Trump-Musk conflicts affecting Polish space missions.
