Polish President Karol Nawrocki said he can operate without Prime Minister Donald Tusk but is ready to collaborate when necessary, as stated in recent interviews.
Relationship with Prime Minister Tusk
In an interview with “Do Rzeczy,” President Karol Nawrocki said he can fulfil his duties without Tusk, yet noted that Poles expect cooperation on important matters. He added that he is “of course ready” but clarified he would not simply accept whatever the ruling majority proposes.
September 10: Unified Response to Threat
The president cited September 10 as evidence that when Poland faces a threat, he is willing to set aside private judgments and advance state interests. He recalled that several Russian drones flew over the country that day and Poland invoked NATO Article 4.
Nawrocki Calls Tusk the Worst Prime Minister
In a recent interview with wPolsce24, Nawrocki labeled Tusk the worst prime minister in the Third Republic but announced he was willing to cooperate on “fundamental issues” concerning the functioning of the state.
Promise of Dialogue at the Table
He stressed that “today Poles expect that when needed we will sit together at the table.” Nawrocki said he does not bear deep resentment toward Tusk, a Christian, and cannot picture that they would not discuss fundamental matters. He added that Tusk could handle it for the good of the Republic.
