Karol Nawrocki criticizes Donald Tusk and Rafał Trzaskowski for their weak EU influence, highlighting concerns about Poland’s international standing, energy security, and cultural heritage.
Karol Nawrocki, presidential candidate backed by PiS, criticized Prime Minister Donald Tusk for his limited influence in the European Union. Speaking in Wschowa, Nawrocki claimed that Tusk is sidelined from major EU events, questioning his international authority. With a touch of irony, he referenced a viral photo of Tusk peeling potatoes, suggesting it symbolized Poland’s diminished role in key political discussions. Nawrocki argued that Poland needs stronger representation to secure its position in the EU.
Trzaskowski’s International Ineffectiveness
Nawrocki also targeted Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski, labeling him “Vice-Tusk” and accusing him of participating only in minor meetings, like side panels at the Munich conference. He asserted that Trzaskowski’s limited influence reflects poorly on Poland’s standing in Europe. Additionally, Nawrocki raised concerns about rising energy costs and the need to protect national heritage, promising to prioritize these issues if elected. He concluded by thanking local residents for their patriotism and emphasizing the importance of national unity.
