Speaking on Saturday, Tusk said he took "full responsibility" for the government’s record, adding that while he was proud of its achievements, "Poland deserves more".
Defence has been one of the cabinet’s central themes.
The deputy prime minister and defence minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, said Poland was spending more on its armed forces than ever before, citing new equipment contracts and plans for further modernisation.
"These are not just figures," he said.
"They are helicopters, drones, ammunition and modern equipment for soldiers."
Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski highlighted closer cooperation with allies and Poland’s role in pushing through further EU sanctions on Russia.
He said the government had also "secured Poland’s borders" and restored access to EU recovery funds frozen under the previous administration.
On the economy, Finance Minister Andrzej Domański said Poland had moved from stagnation to growth, arguing that inflation had fallen rapidly and investment was accelerating.
"Poland is today one of the fastest-growing large economies in the European Union," he said.
The government has also pointed to progress on Poland’s first nuclear power plant, describing it as a long-term project intended to strengthen energy security, though the investment remains at an early stage.
Despite the government’s assessment, public opinion remains divided.
A recent CBOS poll shows that 34 percent of respondents support the cabinet, while 41 percent oppose it.
According to analysts, healthcare has emerged as one of the government’s weakest areas in public perception, with persistent staffing shortages, long waiting times and rising costs.
Critics also point that some of the coalition’s flagship election pledges have moved more slowly than expected, constrained by budget pressures and internal differences within the four-party alliance.
Economists note that while growth has returned and inflation has fallen, higher defence spending and social programmes have contributed to a widening budget deficit.
13 December marks two years since the formation of Donald Tusk’s government, a four-party coalition made up of the Civic Coalition (KO), the Polish People’s Party (PSL), Poland 2050 and the Left.
