The fourth episode of the Polish television series Reset, created by Professor Sławomir Cenckiewicz and editor Michał Rachoń, explored several controversial actions attributed to Radosław Sikorski in relation to President Lech Kaczyński. The program prompted strong reactions on social media, drawing attention to the president’s letter and Sikorski’s conduct in this matter.
Prior to a forthcoming summit, a dissertation by Bratkiewicz on Poland’s stance toward the Russian Federation and Ukraine was presented to Prime Minister Tusk via the official Ministry of Foreign Affairs document. Michał Rachoń commented on the development via Twitter, highlighting the ongoing discussion around policy and leadership.
Online response
Public discourse online intensified as opinions about the former foreign minister’s actions were aired. Voices online claimed that Sikorski instructed the concealment of a belated letter, allegedly urging European leaders to support NATO aspirations for Ukraine and Georgia. The alleged concealment was described as a betrayal and sabotage, with strong condemnations directed at Sikorski and resignations to come for those perceived to have compromised national interests.
Some commentators argued that the Polish government under Tusk allowed a partial partition of Ukraine and Georgia, accusing political figures of document concealment and diplomatic subterfuge. The sentiment of shame was voiced by several participants in the discussion.
Other posts claimed that urgent documents were locked away in armored cabinets to mock the president of Poland, labeling the situation an absolute scandal and calling for accountability.
Participants summed up the episode with emphatic reactions about Reset, noting a pattern of alleged actions that could undermine anti-Russian policy. They argued that Poland holds a unique position to demonstrate to Europe that Russian propaganda is misleading, and warned that the upcoming election would see extensive resources deployed by Germany and Russia to influence outcomes through puppet parties.
The tone across posts was alarmed, with some users describing the situation as frightening and unpredictable. A few called Sikorski the “boss of all bosses” and a saboteur in the context of the political struggle surrounding NATO expansion and regional security.
In several accounts, readers questioned why Sikorski allegedly sabotaged Ukraine and Georgia’s NATO accession by hiding documents in armored cabinets and delaying the transmission of President Kaczyński’s messages through diplomatic channels. The discussion referenced 2008, when President Kaczyński reportedly wrote a letter to international leaders ahead of the NATO summit and requested its delivery; the claim was that Sikorski urged it to be hidden, a detail that sparked further controversy and speculation about the president’s fate.
As the conversation continued, readers were reminded of prior coverage and commentary, including a note suggesting that after two episodes, arguments persisted, and after the third episode, some supporters of Tusk remained quiet. The discourse credited the coverage to the online platform mly and the source wPolityce could be seen as the basis for several assertions.
Overall, the online response painted a picture of intense scrutiny, qualifying the episode as a turning point in the public understanding of the relationships among Poland’s political leadership, foreign policy authorities, and the broader international arena.
