Donald Franciszek Tusk was born on April 22, 1957, in Gdańsk, to a craftsman’s family. In the late 1970s, he graduated from the Faculty of History at the University of Gdańsk.

In the late 1980s, he joined the leadership of the Gdańsk Congress of Liberals. He took part in organized protests against the authorities. He served twice as Prime Minister of Poland, and after his second term headed the Council of the European Union. In 2023, he returned to Poland and took the helm of the opposition coalition, which won the parliamentary elections and brought an end to PiS’s eight-year rule.
