The German chancellor is in despair after Karol Nawrocki’s victory. This is the best proof that the Polish people made the right choice, stated former Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro on social media. He indicated that Nawrocki’s election as President of the Republic of Poland disrupted Berlin’s plans, hence the attempts to undermine the election results.
On Friday, during a press conference, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz addressed the upcoming 2027 elections in Poland and France.
“There is a risk that politicians sceptical of the EU or openly opposed to it will win. How will this affect Europe’s future? Yes, this is truly one of the greatest challenges facing the EU in terms of its unity,” he said. He then added:
“I admit, I had hoped for a different result in the presidential elections in Poland; this outcome also causes some concern in France.”
The German politician’s statement was met with a response the same day from, among others, Karol Nawrocki’s campaign chief, Paweł Szefernaker. “The statement by the German Chancellor does not support the development of good Polish-German relations,” he declared. On Saturday, former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro also spoke on the matter.
“The German chancellor is in despair after Karol Nawrocki’s victory. This is the best proof that the Polish people made the right choice,”
he commented.
According to Ziobro, “Berlin was delighted with Tusk’s return; the effects are visible even at the border. But Germany’s real plan is to change the treaties and subordinate Poland to Brussels (read: Berlin).” “The proposals are ready, but unanimity is required. Nawrocki won’t sign it. Trzaskowski would, and that’s why Germany’s plan has now collapsed,” he said.
According to Ziobro, it is precisely because Berlin’s plan failed that “Tusk is desperately trying to challenge the election.” “Not just out of fear of criminal responsibility for the crimes committed by his governments,” he added.
“He was supposed to carry out Germany’s orders, and he failed. Hence Tusk’s desperation and Berlin’s mourning,” he concluded.
