President Karol Nawrocki addressed the EU\u2019s SAFE military financing program on Monday, June 22, drawing a curt four-word public response from Prime Minister Donald Tusk via social media. <\/p>\n
Following President Nawrocki’s remarks, Donald Tusk posted a brief comment on X: “Co Pan niepowie…” (You don’t say…), accompanying his post with a video snippet of the President’s speech.<\/p>\n
Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki responded to Tusk, sarcastically suggesting the PM had finally understood the situation while noting the cost of the SAFE credit facility. Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Rados\u0142aw Sikorski remarked that the President and the right-wing camp would soon claim they had been ardent supporters of the program all along.<\/p>\n
The SAFE initiative provides 150 billion euros in low-interest loans for EU member states, primarily for military procurement, with 43.7 billion euros allocated to Poland. In March, President Nawrocki vetoed the legislation intended to implement the program, leading the government to issue a resolution authorizing ministers to sign the agreement independently in May.<\/p>\n
President Nawrocki previously submitted a legislative proposal for a “Polish SAFE 0%” program, which sought to utilize National Bank of Poland profits. The Polish People’s Party (PSL) introduced a similar project, which Minister W\u0142adys\u0142aw Kosiniak-Kamysz claimed addressed flaws in the President’s original draft, with the government expected to review the PSL proposal.<\/p>\n
During the Poland Future Summit in Warsaw, an event dedicated to strategic national challenges held under his honorary patronage, President Nawrocki emphasized that national security and development are inseparable. He identified demographics as the essential foundation for both pillars of Poland’s future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
