The head of the Polish government, Donald Tusk, did not attend a morning meeting on May 1 with President Andrzej Duda at his invitation regarding the topic of possible nuclear weapon placement in Poland. This was reported by the minister of the president’s chancellery, Wojciech Kolarski, as reported by TVN24.
The presidential minister added that Tusk’s position is “strange” to him, as the prime minister appeared publicly the day before, including delivering a speech on the occasion of Poland’s annual anniversary of joining the EU. However, he noted that despite this, the doors of the presidential palace are always open to the Prime Minister of Poland.
Later, during a speech commemorating the 20th anniversary of Poland’s accession to the EU, President Duda stated that Prime Minister Tusk, unfortunately, did not accept his invitation to jointly address Polish society on the anniversary of EU membership. He expressed hope that together with the Prime Minister, they would continue the policy of successful Polish membership in the EU.
As reported, the President of Poland, Andrzej Duda, stated in an interview with Fakt that the country is ready to host nuclear weapons on its territory if allies make such a decision to strengthen NATO’s eastern flank. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, in this regard, stated that he plans to meet with the President as soon as possible to understand his intentions.
