Poland’s PM states Poland faces significant political tension
(MENAFN) Poland is currently facing significant political tension and external threats, Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated, comparing the situation to “pre-war times” and calling for heightened awareness of dangers both from abroad and within the country.
Tusk shared these views while unveiling a new government formed after the opposition narrowly won the May presidential election. Despite broad agreement among major parties on a firm stance against Russia, divisions persist regarding Poland’s future relationship with the European Union.
“We witness practically every day events that would once have seemed incredible, unexpected — proverbial black swans,” Tusk remarked. “Today, it’s difficult to find white swans.” He added that emotions are intense and many Poles feel they are living “in a sense, in pre-war times.”
The prime minister accused Russia and its ally Belarus of actively seeking to destabilize Poland. He also criticized certain domestic figures, without naming them, who allegedly sympathize with Moscow, oppose support for Ukraine, and hold antagonistic views toward the EU.
Historically, Poland has positioned itself as a defender of a mainly Catholic Europe against Russian influence, a perspective that continues to guide its policies. This is evident in the government’s “East Shield” program, launched in May 2024, which involves strengthening border defenses through bunkers and landmines along Poland’s eastern border.
