Polish MEP Arkadiusz Mularczyk wrote to U.S. Congressman Don Bacon about what he calls an anti-American policy in Poland.
Congressman Reacts to Ambassador Controversy
Congressman Don Bacon reacted to the controversy involving Ambassador Tom Rose and Włodzimierz Czarzasty. Ambassador Rose severed contacts with Czarzasty due to – as he claimed – “outrageous and unjustified slurs” against Donald Trump. The Marshal of the Sejm had refused to support Rose for the Nobel Peace Prize and criticized the policy he was conducting.
Donald Tusk sided with Czarzasty at that time, noting that “allies should respect each other, not lecture each other.” In response, the diplomat claimed that the head of government “sent the message by mistake,” as it was “certainly intended for Marshal of the Sejm Czarzasty, whose disgraceful, dismissive and offensive comments about President Trump could potentially harm the government.”
Congressman Bacon, who observed this discussion, assessed that “it’s time for a new ambassador.”
European Parliament PiS Member Writes of “Anti-American Policy” in Poland
European Parliament PiS member Arkadiusz Mularczyk wrote in response to Bacon that he “misjudges the situation.” He also stated that Poland is ruled by a “liberal and post-communist alliance,” for whom Donald Trump’s victory and the election of new Polish President Karol Nawrocki are “a real threat” to maintaining power.
“That’s why they pursue an anti-American policy – not in the national interest, but their own. The reactions of the U.S. Embassy in Poland are a direct consequence of their attacks and provocations against President Trump,” wrote the politician.
“This Is Not Anti-Americanism”
In response to the PiS MEP’s post, Bartosz Domaszewicz, chairman of the city council in Łódź, reacted. “Mr. Mularczyk, you are clearly confusing concepts. Defending the honor of Polish soldiers and rejecting a policy of concessions toward Putin is not anti-Americanism. It’s standing guard over the values that built the power of the United States and our brotherhood in arms. As Poles, we expect partnership and respect – not lectures and blackmail,” wrote the politician.
