Hungary will pass the baton of the European Union's six-month rotating presidency to Poland on January 1 .

Poland 's presidency of the EU Council will be a counterpoint to what has happened over the past six months , says Kai-Olaf Lang of the German Institute for International and Security Affairs in Berlin .

Tusk 's government favors Euro bonds for defense, but the idea of running up new EU debt is extremely controversial in the bloc.

Tusk has said that "naive ambitions to save the entire planet" are hampering Europe 's competitiveness in the world.

Poland 's presidency coincides with domestic political crises in Germany and France .

Tusk wants to use the weakness of these two European powerhouses to bolster his country's status.

Poland will present itself as a pro- Europe country that is willing to shape things, says Eastern Europe expert Lang .
