Poland’s zombie government shuffles into being

WARSAW — Polish President Andrzej Duda on Monday swore in a new government headed by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki — whose term in office is likely to be only a maximum of 14 days.That’s because Morawiecki and his Law and Justice (PiS) party lost the October 15 general election to a coalition of opposition parties. Even though PiS is the largest grouping in the new parliament, with 191 MPs, the three opposition parties that have promised to form a government led by former PM Donald Tusk have 248 seats — enough for a solid majority in the 460-member parliament.Still, Duda insisted that Morawiecki get the first chance at trying to form a government. “We are fulfilling a constitutional custom by appointing a government that represents the grouping that won the parliamentary election,” Duda said during Monday’s ceremony.However, despite several weeks of trying to hold talks with opposition MPs, Morawiecki was unable to show that any other parties were willing...

Tesla sues Sweden over blocked license plates

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:49:40 GMT

Tesla has filed a lawsuit against Sweden over blocked access to license plates for new vehicles, the Swedish newspaper Dagens Industri reported on Monday.According to the American electric car company, this seizure of license plates constitutes a discriminatory attack with no legal basis whatsoever against Tesla, the newspaper wrote.The press spokesperson for the agency, Mikael Andersson, told the Associated Press: “We at the Swedish Transport Agency do not share this view that the agency was blocking the distribution of license plates.” He added: “We have not yet seen the lawsuit and it is therefore difficult for us to give any direct comments. We need to look at the lawsuit and Tesla’s reasoning in it.”According to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by AP, Tesla demands that the district court fine the transport agency 1 million kronor ($95,383) to “oblige” the agency to allow Tesla “retrieve license plates” within three days from notification of the district court’s decision.
