A post overflowing with bitterness from the former “King of Europe” only completes the picture of frustration that, despite so much effort, he failed to discourage our compatriots from celebrating, said the president’s spokesman, Rafał Leśkiewicz, responding to the prime minister.
This year’s Independence March brought together the president, his staff, and leaders from the right side of the Sejm. The prime minister, however, was absent. On November 11, Donald Tusk celebrated in Gdańsk – not without an embarrassing mishap.
It took Donald Tusk two days to attack the president in the context of the march through the capital.
“The fact that, during the march, parties of MPs Mentzen, Wipler, Braun and Fritz were sending me off to Berlin was actually amusing. Less amusing was that, for those marching, the enemies were the West, the European Union and Ukraine – not Russia. And the grim joke is that the President of the Republic was marching at their head,” the prime minister wrote.
Among the many responses, the president’s spokesman also weighed in.
“While hundreds of thousands of Poles were rejoicing in the streets of Warsaw, celebrating the National Independence Day, Prime Minister Donald Tusk – after 48 hours of contemplation – decided once again to draw attention to himself,”he noted.
He pointed out that “the post, overflowing with bitterness from the former ‘King of Europe,’ completes the picture of frustration that, despite so much effort, he failed to discourage our compatriots from celebrating.”
“President Karol Nawrocki marched in the Independence March among thousands of smiling people proud to be Polish. Yes! Proud to be Polish,” he replied to the prime minister’s jab.
