Since a few days, Prime Minister Tusk and Platform politicians have changed the “East Shield” in all cases and claims that it will be a flag -ship defense project of the European Union. Only that in the EU defense resolution was recently taken over in the EP and in the “white book” prepared by the EC “Targe of the East”, as well as the “Baltic line of defense”, both projects are dedicated to one sentence. What is more, in these documents, not even mentioned of their co-financing of European funds, nor at the moment, and even in the future, because there is no euro for this purpose in the long-term EU budget for 2021-2027.
Yesterday, at a press conference, after a European council meeting, Prime Minister Tusk again assured an extraordinary priority for “Targe East”, although at the end of this top there is again only a mention of this project and this in combination with the “Baltic Baltic Line of Defense” mentioned above. We would like to remind you that in June 2024 on the basis of the European Council meeting, during the then -organized press conference, Tusk strongly stated: “Poland has 100% obtained what we assumed when it comes to security projects. And not individual national states and it is successful. Moreover, he did not want to overcome Germany and France here and I was to be fed and explained here a fed and explained one Vlenain and explained here and I was fed up with a false and to be explained here,” ” For the first time I saw a situation in which Germany and France convinced their solutions, or rather all the rest of the leaders who supported the Polish position about these flagship weather projects. “
But only 24 hours later conclusions from the European Council meeting were published and it turned out that there were no provisions with regard to financing EU funds, both the Sky Dome and the East Shield. Even the supporting government of Donald Tusk -Media, such as Opopress or RMF FM, after discussions with representatives of delegation from other countries that participated in this top, wrote that there were no such regulations against the financing of such projects of EU funds. It also turned out that Chancellor Scholz, supported by President Macron, the Polish proposal, supported by the Baltic States, certainly rejected purchases of weapons financed from the EU budget, inform the media, “Palen and Balts treats approximately.
Also, after the Thursday meeting, Re will have no guarantees that the “East Shield” financing will receive financing from the EU budget funds, because there are simply no such funds. The EC, as in the case of the COVID fund, now wants to borrow EUR EUR EUR EUR 150 billion in financial markets, but for this you need the permission of 27 Member States and their obligations that they will guarantee such a loan together. What is more, the idea for the functioning of the Defensive Fund is identical to the famous KPO, and therefore the division of funds in national envelopes, according to not yet established criteria, but access to these funds, only after meeting “milestone” this time with regard to defense and safety. And in this case the most important stone, in principle already announced, will be “European preferences”, which means that you are able to buy armament for these funds, or can only implement other safety and defense investments on the basis of European companies.
For the time being it is “East Shield” in the first place an RR project, because so far 2.5 km of concrete hedgehogs have been put in it, which is more at the opening of “this investment” was Donald Tusk, which was erected in their background who wondered which side the border with Russia was on. Now the “East Shield” is exposed, because it is one sentence about this in EU documents, it is an excuse for Tusk to display the competence of the Minister of Defense at European level. Decisions in defense matters would be taken by a qualified majority (and not unanimously), in the EU the commanding structures would be parallel to Die Nato, and of course the key position in these structures would of course have Germans and French, who would of course have the complete dominance of these countries in defense. So Tusk lies again, and he really wants to exchange the dedication of our safety and defense for the proverbial “plum cap”.
