“Everyone came up: a moment of conversation, 20-30 seconds, shaking hands. It is, of course, a great honor and I am also very pleased to have had the opportunity to speak briefly with the President of the United States about the Three Seas Initiative, because this too is an extremely important thing, but if I said that I yesterday had some talks or an extremely important meeting, which was the main point, I would make a little fool of myself, and I think you should keep a certain seriousness,” said the deputy head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Paweł Jabłoński, on TVP Info.
Biden’s meetings with opposition politicians
The Deputy Secretary of State commented on the meetings between US President Joe Biden and Polish opposition politicians. Although the US leader’s talks with Donald Tusk, Tomasz Grodzki and Rafał Trzaskowski were announced on social media, and later blown up to the level of evidence that Joe Biden is betting on Poland’s Civic Coalition, it turns out it wasn’t quite like they try to present the situation to the opposition politicians.
The wPolityce.pl portal revealed yesterday that the meetings between the President of the PO, the Marshal of the Senate and the President of Warsaw with the leader of the United States lasted about 20-30 seconds.
“I was there, I had the opportunity to observe it”
The State Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs speaks in a similar tone. Paweł Jabłoński, who was a guest on TVP Info’s “Jedziemy” program this morning, witnessed the whole situation.
It’s honestly kind of funny for me to read these threads because I was there I had the opportunity to observe it. The main points of yesterday’s meeting were the meetings of the President of the United States with President Duda, Prime Minister Morawiecki and a speech at the royal castle. After this speech, a direct meeting with Prime Minister Morawiecki took place, which lasted about 20-30 minutes
he stressed.
Later, there was indeed a group, a line of people lined up for a group photo. Coincidentally, I was in it myself, that’s how American protocol put us together. It looked like this: the president of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, Donald Tusk … I was placed right behind Donald Tusk, and in front of Marshal Grodzki – I even let Marshal Grodzki pass to fulfill some rules of protocol
– said the Secretary of State at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Everyone came up: a moment of conversation, 20-30 seconds, shaking hands. It is, of course, a great honor and I am also very pleased to have had the opportunity to speak briefly with the President of the United States about the Three Seas Initiative, because this too is an extremely important thing, but if I said that I had some conversations yesterday or an extremely important meeting which would be the main point to embarrass myself a little bit and I think you have to keep a certain seriousness
– added.
What happened today, what happened yesterday and the day before in Kiev, what will happen today in Warsaw, between presidents, between governments, is the most important thing and everyone here should be aware of it, what it actually looks like
Jablonski said.
While commentators such as editor Tomasz Lis or attorney Roman Giertych have lamented since yesterday that PiS and some media outlets are desperately trying to downplay the importance of the US president’s meeting with opposition politicians, their comments yesterday on this topic can be summed up with the words “But you calling!”.
