Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for understanding regarding President Andrzej Duda's "strange, aggressive statements." "You, too, would be increasingly anxious in his position," he wrote in a likely response to the criticism the president has expressed in recent interviews.
"Please, be understanding toward the President and his strange, aggressive statements. You, too, would be increasingly anxious in his position," Tusk wrote on Wednesday morning (October 30).
Duda targeted Tusk in interviews
Although the Prime Minister did not specify the reasons behind his reference to "anxiety," he likely referred to two interviews President Duda gave on Tuesday: one in the morning on Radio Zet and another in the evening on Telewizja Trwam. In both, Duda criticized Tusk several times.
On Telewizja Trwam, Duda stated that in Poland, "we are dealing with evident lawlessness carried out by Donald Tusk's government."
On Radio Zet, he said that "the Smolensk disaster is politically dangerous for Donald Tusk." He urged a calm review of who had been responsible for the fact that Polish prosecutors had not been able to participate in investigative activities in Russia or in examining the causes of the disaster. "Who gave up our right, which came from the agreement on military aircraft disasters? For some inexplicable reason, Tusk abandoned that agreement," Duda said.
He further stated that Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, the leader of the PSL party, would be a better prime minister than Tusk. "Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz would likely be someone who eases the divisions in Poland, rather than intensifying them. Meanwhile, Donald Tusk, judging by his year in office, is certainly a figure who intensifies these divisions," Duda concluded.
