Donald Tusk faces backlash after German Chancellor Olaf Scholz announced that deportations from Germany were pre-agreed with European leaders. Tusk accused of betrayal.
Scholz: wydalenia z Niemiec są zgodne z prawem, bo ja do wszystkich premierów w krajach sąsiednich zadzwoniłem i powiedziałem, że oni muszą się na to zgodzić.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz recently announced that deportations from Germany are legally justified and have been agreed upon with all European leaders. This revelation has fueled controversy in Poland, where Prime Minister Donald Tusk previously assured that he would not accept any forced migrant relocations. The opposition claims that Tusk’s silent compliance with Berlin’s demands exposes a betrayal of Polish interests, with critics labeling his actions as a diplomatic failure. Prominent politicians, including Mateusz Morawiecki, Waldemar Buda, and Jacek Saryusz Wolski condemned Tusk, accusing him of bowing to German pressure.
Political Backlash and Public Reaction
The announcement has intensified political debate, with opposition figures calling Tusk’s agreement a step toward mass migration into Poland. Social media has been flooded with criticism, with Jacek Saryusz-Wolski calling it an act of “sheer hypocrisy.” Przemysław Czarnek directly blamed Tusk for allowing Poland to become a recipient of Germany’s unwanted migrants. As the situation unfolds, the Polish public remains divided, with many questioning whether Tusk’s assurances of sovereignty were ever genuine.
