A political dispute over security and alliances
A senior Polish lawmaker from the ruling party challenged recent statements about state security. In a thread on a social platform, he accused a former prime minister of forming alliances that could threaten Poland at a time of Russian aggression. The response came after a deputy minister argued that unless someone recognizes a current threat and dismisses links with parties in Europe, they are engaging in a misread of the situation. The exchange highlighted how different politicians frame national security in relation to foreign partners and media influence.
Do the actions of the governing party pose a risk?
In a public post, a deputy foreign minister from the coalition government suggested that Poland’s safety amid Russian pressure depends on the decisions taken by the ruling party after the elections on October 15 and the formation of alliances with European leaders. Notably, he suggested that steps perceived as unlawful or biased in the media landscape were not being treated as a direct threat.
The discussion extended to allegations about close ties with certain European voices and ongoing political narratives within Polish media. The speaker warned that the daily coverage and official messaging could undermine the national interest, framing changes in public media as a countertrend to the perceived threat from external actors. The deputy asserted that acknowledging these concerns is crucial, and dismissing them as a misstep would be a mistake.
– the deputy noted.

Jabłoński counters and accuses the other side
Paweł Jabłoński, a current member of parliament for the same party and a former deputy foreign minister, replied to the deputy minister’s remarks. He pointed to activities by the opposition and the former government that he says the ruling team is trying to obscure.
In a pointed attack, he recalled a controversial alliance and described it as a potential risk to national security. The statement underscored the intensity of the political row and the desire to frame external relations as part of a broader struggle over security and sovereignty.
– Jabłoński stressed the point.
He criticized decisions that affected strategic projects and international relationships. He criticized decisions he viewed as aligning with external actors against national interests, arguing that early actions in media and diplomacy indicated a former approach that could have exposed the country to risks. The deputy noted that a reversal of those policies might be necessary to safeguard Poland’s independence and regional influence.
– he argued.
Jabłoński added that if the previous government had not shifted course, the region might have faced intensified outside influence, while trade and political leverage could shift away from Poland. He suggested that moderation in foreign engagement was essential to preserving Poland’s role in Central Europe and maintaining balanced relations with major European powers.
