The real political crime of those currently in power is to lie to the entire nation about security, PO leader Donald Tusk said at a meeting in Ełk on Wednesday, saying, among other things, about the situation in the Polish army.
In his address to the residents of Ełk, the PO leader emphasized that Poles in this part of Poland “have a particularly sensitive hearing and sight to the risks that threaten their homeland.” Therefore – he emphasized – at this point he intends to say “a few words of truth” about what is happening with Polish security.
Tusk’s absurd accusations
He argued that PiS “had the audacity” to use the election slogan “A secure future for Poland,” and at the same time – as the PO leader said – at exactly the same time “they started making decisions, creating such chaos , which resulted in events that really introduced this sense of fear, illegality and chaos into all Polish homes.
He said that when Ukrainian grain “began to flood Poland because they were unable to organize the transportation of this grain to the countries that were waiting for it,” he himself raised the alarm about it. He reported that he was then told by PiS that it was not true.
They lied for months: Kaczyński, Morawiecki and the then Minister of Agriculture. After a few months it turned out that they were lying
– said Tusk. He noted that this was not a surprise to him.
What may come as a surprise is how consistently and brazenly they can lie about any issue
– he pointed out.
He said it was similar to the case of resigning soldiers. He referred to the fact that the Chief of the General Staff, General Rajmund Andrzejczak, and the Operational Commander of the Armed Forces, General Tomasz Piotrowski, submitted notices of termination of their employment relationship on Monday. He emphasized that until yesterday they were at the head of the Polish army.
He recalled his words that he had received information that more officers had resigned and that 10 more had resigned.
And how did the PiS authorities, Morawiecki, some spokespersons and officials responsible for information about the army react to this? “It’s not true, fake news, Tusk is lying, Tusk is doing a strange staging.” Morawiecki was the leader in this outrage, in this outrage that it wasn’t true
– he said.
He added that it was not necessary to wait as long as in the case of Ukrainian grain before PiS had to “admit its lies”.
This time 24 hours was enough. This morning all of Poland found out that I was telling the truth. Only one correction. Not 10, but 11, and this has already been confirmed by official sources in the Polish army
– said Donald Tusk in Ełk.
If there is a war in Ukraine, if there is a global conflict in the air in the Gaza zone in the Middle East, I don’t need to convince anyone what a critical moment the world is in, and what a critical moment it is in. moment our region is located. has been going on for many months. And in matters of security, the military, the defense of our borders and the situation at the highest command, their only course of action is to lie to the public.
– added.
He said that when it comes to those in power, “their real political crime is lying to the entire nation about security.”
Do you know what the problem was when that famous Russian rocket fell? (…) the problem was that they knew it had fallen, and for propaganda reasons did not actually look for it, so that no one would find out that they had left Polish airspace completely defenseless.
And then it turned out – he said – “Kaczyński’s only idea was to escape, and Błaszczak’s only method was to blame the generals, including those who resigned yesterday.”
He said that when those in power, including Jarosław Kaczyński, “plainly and cowardly lie in situations like this Russian missile”, when Kaczyński “as always shows cowardice, when you have to take responsibility for difficult decisions”, you have to decide for yourself – Polish women and men should definitely answer this question.
PiS voters, first of all, you must answer this question today. In times of global confusion, do you want risks – and here, especially, because of the proximity of borders, you know what these risks can mean – do you really want Poland to be ruled by liars like Morawiecki, cowards like Kaczyński, or people who, as dramatically incompetent and with sticky hands, like Sasin
– said Donald Tusk.
Wirtualna Polska reported on Wednesday that “not only General Rajmund Andrzejczak and General Tomasz Piotrowski have resigned from their service in the Polish army.”
It appears that in the period from 1 to 10 October, 11 professional soldiers from the General Command of the Armed Forces did this. We have confirmation
– reported the portal.
11 professional soldiers from the General Command of the Armed Forces from October 1 to 10 this year. has given notice of the termination of the professional service relationship. In accordance with the provisions of the law of March 11, 2022 on the defense of the homeland, art. 230, a professional soldier can terminate the professional military service relationship at any time without giving a reason
– the Communications Activities Department of the General Command of the Armed Forces informed Wirtualna Polska.
At the same time, the Operational Command of the Armed Forces Branches said on Wednesday that not a single senior officer had left the General Command of the Armed Forces.
If a military officer dealing with administrative matters submits a request for departure in the first week of October, this cannot be combined with the resignation of the Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army submitted a few days later.
– emphasized.
Tusk addresses the Prime Minister
The government is led by a man whose only passion in life is making money, and his only real job is to hide this fact from people – said Donald Tusk, chairman of the Civic Platform, on Wednesday in Ełk.
During the meeting in Ełk, the head of PO argued that if you “look up, close to the authorities”, today you can see “dirty, sticky hands”.
We feel this stench, the stench of corruption everywhere, because the government is run by a man whose only passion in life is actually making money, and his only real job is to hide this fact from people. And he is the Prime Minister of the Polish government
— Tusk said about Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
According to Tusk, “not a day goes by without us learning something new from his very strange biography, from his very interesting – winding but interesting – financial path.”
Today we learned that he even made money by transforming state farms
– he said.
One of our most important tasks on October 15 is to remove those who lie to Poland in security matters, lie to Poland in almost every other issue – even if it is security that hurts us so much – and who rob Poland, the homeland, the Polish families in broad daylight
– said the head of PO.
Tusk also spoke about the resignation of military commanders: General Rajmund Andrzejczak from the position of Chief of the General Staff of the Polish Army and General Tomasz Piotrowski from the position of Operational Commander of the Armed Forces.
In this context, the politician recalled speculations that this resignation was related to alleged “plans to deploy the army” if the ruling party lost the elections. He expressed hope that “the authorities will not make so much effort.”
But I want to tell you that it is bad enough, this is their absolute disqualification, that today, less than 100 hours before the elections – and not only us, also Polish generals, Polish independent media, because they still exist – that we I wonder if they lose the elections, and they will, will they not use violence?
– said the platform chairman.
