Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki believes that current Tusk government “is pursuing the interests of foreign countries,” specifically pointing to Germany and France, “but also the Benelux countries and Austria.”
He also had some pointed comments about the ruling coalition’s disastrous impact on the state budget.
After being asked during a Facebook Q&A if he believes that Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government’s policies are serving the interests of countries other than Poland, Morawiecki had a definitive and damning answer.
“Yes, I believe this government is subordinated not to the Polish raison d’état, not to Polish interests,” he stated, according to Do Rzeczy.
“It is a government that floats like a willless leaf on a river, pursuing, either consciously or sometimes out of stupidity or because it allows itself to be outwitted, the interests of foreign countries, primarily the richest and most powerful countries of Western Europe, particularly Germany and France, but also the Benelux countries and Austria,” the former prime minister told viewers.
“I’m an optimist by nature. We’ll be able to save Poland because I never give up. Good people never give up, the fight goes on until the end, we move forward, despite defeats and sometimes mistakes. (…) Not everything was perfect, but only those who do nothing make no mistakes,” Morawiecki continued.
He also took aim at the budget, noting how Tusk’s ruling coalition had trashed the state’s finances. “Repairing the state budget after these scumbags will now take one to two years, because I see what they’re ruining, what tightening measures will need to be installed, implemented, IT systems implemented, and the National Revenue Administration (KAS) trained,” he explained.
Two years after the current government took power, “Super Express” decided to find out how many of the voters who supported the current ruling coalition back then would still vote for them today.
The results of the poll, commissioned by the Pollster Research Institute, indicate that a significant portion of its then-voters have drifted away within two years. While 65 percent of respondents answered “yes,” 22 percent said they would not vote for the current government again, and 13 percent of respondents had no clear opinion on the matter.
“Rzeczpospolita” noted that 22 percent would represent 2,551,800 people who voted for Tusk’s coalition, which amounts to some 8.7 percent of Poland’s 29,363,722 eligible voters.
