Tusk’s Warning of the Right
Donald Tusk said he often hears people in Poland claiming he resembles the Confederation or imitates PiS’s right wing, and that nothing will result because supporters of Braun or Kaczyński will pick the original. He clarified he does not aim to imitate them to win their voters, but to break the gloomy spectacle in which many decent people see radical right, hateful language, and arbitrary violence as the only answers to illegal migration, the threat of war, and terrorism.
