““During the great migration crisis of 2015-2016, we were accused of not wanting to take migrants from Africa,” Dr. Witold Waszczykowski says in an interview with wPolityce.pl. The former head of Polish diplomacy calls Donald Tusk’s accusations of issuing visas for bribes “nonsense.” “Bribes must be proven. Our visa procedure was and is very complicated,” the former PiS MEP says.
The Supreme Audit Office report on the so-called The visa scandal should contain information on PLN 366,000 allegedly issued illegal visas during the PiS government. Donald Tusk commented on the issue on social media, stating that “people from Asia and Africa” had been allowed into Poland.
When I was foreign minister, we allocated the most visas to Ukrainians and Belarusians. I bragged about it in the European Union during the great migration crisis of 2015-2016. We were then accused of not wanting to take migrants from Africa. I replied that we accepted hundreds of thousands of people from Ukraine. Visas for Africans were a small percentage
– former head of Polish diplomacy Witold Waszczykowski tells the wPolityce.pl portal.

“‘NIK comes to help Tusk’
Tusk accuses the Law and Justice government of allowing hundreds of thousands of people from Asia and Africa into Poland, including for bribes.
Bribes must be proven. Our visa procedure was and is very complicated. The consul there could not accept bribes because he did not decide whether to grant the visa. These decisions were made in Warsaw
– Waszczykowski answers the prime minister, stressing that the accusations against the foreign ministers of the United Right government are “all nonsense”. Even the parliamentary inquiry into the so-called In the visa scandal, no hundreds of thousands of illegally issued visas were found, which were the subject of the report of the Supreme Audit Office.
This NIK report must be confronted with the data presented to the investigation committee and only then can the case be assessed. All this is meant to cover Tusk’s current problems, the most important of which is the flood. NIK comes to his aid by bringing up old issues and dressing them in new terms
– former foreign minister reveals the essence of the prime minister’s manipulation. He also recalls that in his submission, Tusk also regrets the border guards. The prime minister suggests that the PiS government, while repelling hordes of illegal migrants sent by the Lukashenko and Putin regimes, let in migrants from Africa and Asia.
It was the politicians of the Civic Platform who stopped the police from defending our border. This is all confusing. Tusk works as Marek Belka once said: lies must be covered with lies
– tells us Dr. Witold Waszczykowski, who responded to Tusk’s entry with his own.
Prime Minister Belka advised: lies must be covered with lies. For eight years the PiS government defended Poland from illegal emigration and from the naivety/loyalty of Tusk, who thought that poor people should be let in and not defended from Lukashenko’s hybrid aggression! DonaldTusk=flood
– wrote a former PiS member of the European Parliament on Platform X.
