The PM’s statement followed a presidential veto that blocked Warsaw from tapping billions in defense loans from the bloc
There is “a real threat” that Poland could leave the EU, Prime Minister Donald Tusk has said, after the country’s president vetoed a bill that would have allowed Warsaw to tap billions in defense loans from the bloc.
President Karol Nawrocki last week vetoed legislation that would have let Warsaw draw nearly €44 billion ($50 billion) in low-interest EU defense loans, most earmarked for domestic arms firms. The government responded by convening an emergency cabinet session, authorizing its defense and finance ministers to sign the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) agreement directly, bypassing the veto.
In a post on X on Sunday, Tusk accused right-wing parties, most of the opposition Law and Justice bloc, and Nawrocki personally of seeking a “Polexit.” He claimed Russia, US President Donald Trump’s MAGA movement, and European factions led by Hungary’s Viktor Orban want to “smash the EU,” warning that for Poland, “it would be a catastrophe,” and vowing to do “everything” to stop them.
