Sejm Elects Mateusz Szpytma as IPN Chief Despite Tusk's Opposition

The Polish Sejm has elected Mateusz Szpytma as the new head of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN), with support from the opposition and coalition partners PSL and Polska 2050. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said he "understands" why PSL backed Szpytma but warned the candidate would not gain Senate approval. The vote exposed tensions within the ruling coalition.
