““Those from PiS who are shouting today that ‘Tusk noticed the flood’ should be silent because they have a reason to be ashamed,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk said. He also called on all politicians not to engage in “political fights” now, because it is “a time of solidarity between everything and everyone.”
On Wednesday, Tusk was asked on TVP Info about PiS President Jarosław Kaczyński’s statement that “after many days of calls and requests from injured residents, Tusk finally noticed that the propaganda of success and stories about a well-functioning government in times of crisis do not stand up to reality.” Jarosław Kaczyński said that PiS called for greater state involvement in aid, but these calls were – according to the PiS president – downplayed.](https://wpolityce.pl/polityka/706502-prezes-pis-wydal-oswiadczenie-ws-powodzi-important-profession)

“The opposition can mock
The opposition can make fun of my muddy shoes. If they were with me in Kłodzko, they would have them too. This is what happens when you walk through muddy streets
– said the Prime Minister when asked about the criticism.
He stressed that he did not want to talk about politics. He recalled that the crisis team met for the first time on Friday and that actions were taken at the local level on Thursday.
You remember well what the opposition did at that time

Those from PiS who are shouting today that “Tusk noticed the flood” should be silent, they have reason to be ashamed.
– said the head of government.
“I can refute the accusations.”
When asked about the statement of the head of the National Security Bureau, Jacek Siewiera – who said on Wednesday, among other things, that in many cities there was not enough time to prepare for the flooding, and that mayors very often received information that there was no reason for excessive concern – the prime minister replied:
I could easily not only refute these accusations, but also say what I think of my opponents, but I don’t want to deal with them. We have some very serious things on our minds.
He also called on all politicians, both from his side and from the opposition, not to get involved in political fights.
This is a time of solidarity among everyone and political gossip will not help anyone
– he emphasized.
