WEEKLY GROSS-OUT: Poland under Tusk

Tens of thousands of Poles marched through Warsaw last week during protests against proposed labour law changes. The protesters demanded a higher minimum wage, greater job security, and the repeal of a law raising the retirement age to 67. Many carried banners calling for Prime Minister Donald Tusk to resign, and he probably should because the ruling centre-right coalition's popularity has plummeted to its lowest level since Mr Tusk took power in 2007. He should be lucky that Poland remains the only country in the European Union to have avoided a recession since the crisis began. But the economy is just coming out of its worst slump in years, and the protesters say it still lags behind its neighbours to the west. So Mr Tusk should either get it together or resign.
