Donald Tusk attacked PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński and President Karol Nawrocki in a post on X yesterday. “Mr Prime Minister, security is built through responsibility and trust, not by exporting manipulation, fear and uncertainty onto the international stage,” presidential spokesman Rafał Leśkiewicz replied.
Some time ago, Prime Minister Donald Tusk was asked by journalists whether he would seek to have American soldiers, whom the United States reportedly plans to withdraw, redeployed to Poland. In response, Tusk said that he would not want to “poach” soldiers from Germany.
Yesterday, however, he decided to attack PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński and President Karol Nawrocki over the matter.
“Kaczyński is trying to shift the blame onto Poland for Washington’s decisions to reduce American engagement in Europe. Nawrocki, in the presence of leaders of other countries at the Bucharest summit, is slinging mud at his own country. Things are getting worse and worse with them,”
Tusk wrote on X.
Presidential spokesman Rafał Leśkiewicz responded to the post. As he noted, “Donald Tusk is once again showing that he is a political saboteur of the Polish cause on the international stage.”
“He stands at the head of a political camp that, for years, fuelled anti-American hysteria against President Donald Trump and a part of the American political scene, created an atmosphere of suspicion and accusations directed against our strategic partners, and turned international politics into an online happening. Today, these people are trying to lecture others on security matters. In an interview with the Financial Times, Tusk publicly undermines confidence in American security guarantees and frightens Europe with war ‘within months, not years’. It is hard to imagine a more irresponsible gift to the Kremlin than the prime minister of a country on NATO’s eastern flank sowing uncertainty about transatlantic relations,”
Leśkiewicz wrote.
As he stressed, Poland does not strengthen its security through media statements made by irresponsible politicians for the foreign press.
“It strengthens it through the development of the Bucharest Nine, cooperation among the Three Seas countries, the building of real relations with the Baltic and Nordic states, and the reinforcement of NATO’s eastern flank together with the United States. This is the policy that President of the Republic of Poland Karol Nawrocki is actively pursuing today,”
he added.
“Mr Prime Minister, security is built through responsibility and trust, not by exporting manipulation, fear and uncertainty onto the international stage,”
he added.
