Polish TV accuses embassy of ‘antistate action’
According to TV Republika, “This is an antistate action! The Polish embassy in the USA is silent about the president’s visit, and Klich did not appear at the airport.” The outlet also claimed that “KO is doing everything to downplay President Karol Nawrocki’s visit to the USA and his meeting with President Donald Trump. The Polish embassy in the USA and Bogdan Klich also want to show themselves off to Tusko.” However, the portal states that Klich’s absence at the airport expresses his “positive attitude to the president.” Furthermore, “Tusko’s people are acting like spoiled children,” says the article.
