The political event in Gdańsk turned into a PR show, with Ursula von der Leyen and Donald Tusk delivering scripted speeches while ignoring real concerns like migration and the Green Deal.
The European Solidarity Centre, once a symbol of freedom, has become a backdrop for a political show. Ursula von der Leyen and Donald Tusk delivered carefully scripted speeches filled with vague promises and empty slogans, ignoring pressing issues like migration policies and the EU’s Green Deal. Meanwhile, outside the venue, farmers protested against policies threatening their livelihoods. Yet their voices were drowned out by the well-rehearsed PR spectacle inside, where control over the narrative mattered more than real dialogue.
Ignoring the Real Concerns
Tusk dodged key questions, skillfully avoiding criticism of EU policies that directly impact Poland. Von der Leyen, speaking in corporate jargon, offered no concrete commitments, only vague assurances. While promising “support” for Poland’s border security, she failed to acknowledge past EU failures in handling migration. The event in Gdańsk was less about solutions and more about maintaining power and political influence. Once again, European elites put on a performance, leaving citizens with more uncertainty than answers.
