Polish presidency questions PM Tusk’s claims of imminent war

A senior aide to Poland’s president, Marcin Przydacz, has criticised Prime Minister Donald Tusk over his recent warnings of a possible war in the coming months, saying the claims are not supported by intelligence and could unnecessarily alarm the public.

In an interview with a Polish radio, head of the presidential Bureau of International Policy said that the president’s office had requested relevant security reports from the government but has yet to receive them, Caliber.Az reports.

“The government has provided only some kind of absurd responses,” he stressed.

According to Przydacz, there are two possible explanations for the prime minister’s position: either he has access to classified information indicating a serious threat, or his statements are politically motivated and not based on facts.

The presidential representative also emphasised that there are no visible signs in the public domain of preparations for an immediate escalation.

At the same time, he underscored the need for transparent information-sharing between the government and the president, who serves as commander-in-chief.

Commenting on the US military presence in Europe, Przydacz made it clear there is no threat of a reduction in American troops in Poland, adding that discussions are underway in Warsaw about a possible increase, provided there is political will on both sides.
