Former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki believes that removing Donald Tusk from power should be a priority.
“We cannot afford a prime minister who cannot control the country,” the Law and Justice (PiS) MP said during an interview on the “Rymanowski Live” program.
Morawiecki’s comments just after PiS named a new candidate for prime minister this past weekend, Przemysław Czarnek.
During the interview, Morawiecki was asked whether he was “still in Law and Justice” after Saturday’s convention. “Absolutely. Of course, we are fighting this evil government,” he replied, as cited by Do Rzeczy.
When asked if he was happy with Przemysław Czarnek’s nomination, he replied: “I am definitely the man who will support him in his mission.”
The former prime minister has also recently taken on the failings of the current government in Poland, led by Donald Tusk.
“At the end of this intense day, it is worth remembering and emphasizing one thing: The overriding goal for all of us is to remove Donald Tusk from influencing Polish affairs as quickly as possible,” the former head of government wrote on X late yesterday.
As Morawiecki pointed out: “We cannot afford a prime minister who has no control over the state, sweeps every crisis under the PR rug and is unable to hold elections even in his own party.”
“There is no major issue at the moment, everything else is stage directions,” he added.
Earlier, Morawiecki also posted a video on X, addressing Tusk directly regarding the impact of higher oil prices, which have been surging in the wake of the Iran War.
“Tusk, get to work! I am calling for the immediate introduction of protective shields for citizens and businesses, a reduction in VAT and excise duty, and guaranteed support for entrepreneurs – from transport companies, to heating plants and bakeries, to fertilizer and chemical producers. Quick and decisive action is needed. The cheat sheet is on the table – simply do what my government did in 2022. And don’t look for excuses, look for solutions. Before it’s too late,” Morawiecki said.
