Poland: Opposition Leader Accused of Serving German-Russian Interests
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has accused opposition leader Donald Tusk, a former prime minister, of allegedly implementing a Merkel-Putin pact that bears striking resemblances to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact of pre-World War II infamy between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
According to Morawiecki, Tusk’s alleged collusion involved a “gas and raw materials pact” between Germany and Russia. In return for facilitating this supposed alliance, Tusk purportedly received generous EU salaries and the highest distinctions from Germany.
The Prime Minister attributes Russia’s aggression towards Ukraine to the German-Russian alliance and their “nightmarish gas and natural-resources policy.” He asserts that Tusk played a pivotal role in enabling this policy during his tenure as Prime Minister of Poland, stating that, “just as there existed the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact that we know about so well, there also existed a de facto Merkel-Putin gas and raw materials pact.”
Morawiecki goes even further, claiming that “the main executor of the Merkel-Putin pact was Donald Tusk… and we cannot forget that nobody in Poland did more for Russia and for Germany over the last fifteen years than Donald Tusk.”
The accusations against Tusk, if proven true, would undoubtedly raise serious questions about his leadership and commitment to Poland’s sovereignty.
Morawiecki’s accusations were made during an official event marking the 84th anniversary of the USSR’s invasion of Poland, a day that carries immense historical significance for Poland and Europe as a whole.
