Miller’s outrageous statements. Is the government’s participation in the National Security Council a “nod” to Andrzej Duda? ‘It takes time. You can govern without a president

When it seems that the Polish political scene cannot be polarized anymore, figures like Leszek Miller appear. “I believe that the government is making unnecessary bows to the president, who is a clear enemy of the government,” the former prime minister said on Radio One. According to Miller, such an “unnecessary bow” is the participation of government representatives in the National Security Council.

In “Sygnały Dnia” on Radio One, Karol Surówka asked former Prime Minister, MEP Leszek Miller in 2019-2024, whether he saw prospects for cooperation between the President and the current government in the last year of Andrzej Duda’s term.

I don’t see any collaboration. Moreover, I believe that the government is making unnecessary bows to the president, who is a clear enemy of the government. For example, why is he attending a Security Council meeting where the president is taking up the government’s time?

– pointed out the guest from Polish radio.

Should the government completely turn its back on the president?

– asked the surprised journalist.

Naturally

Miller responded with unwavering certainty.

““The government can govern without a president.”

Karol Surówka was kind enough to point out that we are talking about “anyway” a democratically elected president.

Let it be so, but the government can rule without the president

– replied the Polish radio guest.

Well, probably not necessarily, especially when we are talking about the polarization of Polish politics and a divided Poland, and when in the east we have seen for more than two years the bandit actions of Putin’s Russia against Ukraine, and moreover – there are every reason to believe that the Kremlin criminal in Ukraine will not stop. Both the president and the government repeatedly emphasize that in matters such as Poland’s security, cooperation between the Council of Ministers and the presidential palace, which goes beyond political divisions, is necessary.

Not to mention that when such situations arise on the Polish-Belarusian border, as we learned last week, and moreover, the President, that is to say also the Commander-in-Chief of the Polish Armed Forces, does not comment on this is kept informed by the It appears that participation in the National Security Council is not an act of extraordinary grace…
