“We received less than 20% of the EU’s ammunition production programme. the money we requested. Why do I think this is an embarrassment to the politicians of the ruling coalition? Because it is fair to say that applications are assessed on substantive criteria. This is pure politics, which was visible in the ‘unlocking of the KPO’,” Mariusz Błaszczak, head of the PiS club and former Minister of National Defense, wrote on the X platform.
If Europe’s most influential politician, Donald Tusk, is supposedly in power, why didn’t he influence the European Commission to ensure that our arms companies – Mesko and Nitrochem – got all the funds they applied for?
– asked the former head of the Ministry of National Defense.
Now briefly about what the next scenario might look like. In the EU ammunition program, almost the entire share was taken by German companies, including companies with German capital (Rheinmetall), for example located in Hungary and Spain. Politicians of the ruling coalition have already imposed a narrative on the inefficient Polish arms industry, see the recent contributions of Cezary Tomczyk, Marcin Kulasek and the contribution from the official report of the Ministry of National Defense. Tomorrow, Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz will meet with German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius. Topics for discussion will include: cooperation in the field of weapons
– wrote Błaszczak.
Poland’s “inefficient arms industry”, as ruling coalition politicians call it, will receive support proposals that will open the door to all EU programs. It is sufficient that the Polish government agrees to the purchase of, among others, Mesko and Nitrochem (which failed in the EU competition) by the German Rheinmetall
