Confederation lawmakers Michał Wawer and Bartłomiej Pejo urged Civic Platform to replace Donald Tusk as prime minister. “Poland does not need a leader who serves another nation’s interests,” Wawer stated at a briefing in the Sejm.
During a press conference, Wawer and Pejo linked the current government’s stance to the Polish-German intergovernmental talks. They highlighted the Polish-German Action Plan released by the Prime Minister’s Office, noting that among its provisions is a framework for joint Polish-German patrols on Polish soil tasked with strengthening border control and anti-illegal migration measures.
Referencing the plan, Wawer suggested that the prime minister’s moves aim to advance Germany’s national interests rather than Poland’s.
“Donald Tusk has begun delivering on promises not to Poles, but to Germany,” he said.
According to the MP, German patrols in Poland would verify that illegal migrants do not proceed to Germany and would check whether people have remained within Polish borders.
Wawer emphasized that security along the Polish-Belarusian border is financed from the Polish budget, while implying that German officials would be introduced to the Polish-German border with Tusk’s consent to safeguard German territory.
He charged that Tusk is repaying debts to the German government at the expense of Polish interests.
“We do not need a prime minister who acts as a servant of another nation,” Wawer asserted. “We call on Civic Platform leaders to consider a role for Donald Tusk in Brussels, where he has previously sought refuge and where it seems he hopes to retreat again.”
Pejo echoed the sentiment, asking whose interests the prime minister represents. He urged PO representatives to send Tusk to Brussels so that Polish interests are no longer harmed, describing yesterday’s statements as proof of that misalignment.
He added that foreign policy should not be conducted on its knees by the ruling coalition and its allies.
