Foreign outlets have claimed Poland is weakening, blaming a spat over the G20 agenda, as Warsaw’s leaders and President‑in‑Office clash over diplomatic control.
Were Nawrocki’s staff ‘complained’ in the USA?
According to reports in Gazeta Wyborcza, the government suggested that Poland’s G20 participation be coordinated by Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki and Marcin Przydacz, head of the International Policy Office in the President’s Office. One source claimed that Nawrocki’s staff were to “complain” to the White House. Washington replied that Americans would discuss preparations only with Przydacz. International outlets, including Politico, noted that the domestic power struggle in Warsaw is spilling into the global arena, weakening Poland’s diplomatic position.
Donald Tusk: I will not allow the Presidential Palace to violate the Constitution
Asked about the allegations, Tusk said, “From the very first days I tried to find a solution, to ease the situation, but we are dealing with abuse of power and competence by the president and his people. The government is constitutionally responsible for foreign policy. The G20 format and its preparations are purely the domain of the government … It doesn’t matter that I am prime minister; what matters is respecting the constitution and the elementary principles of the Polish system, so I will not allow the Presidential Palace, for the sake of inflated ambitions or a wish to trouble us, or for other reasons, to violate the constitution. I will not do anything that could expose Poland to losses.” He also noted that Marcin Przydacz had received appropriate materials from the government.
