Nawrocki’s chancellery chief said that PM Donald Tusk’s cabinet had “disgraced itself.”

Poland’s liberal PM insists his government sets foreign policy, but the conservative president heads to Washington on his own terms.

Nawrocki has highlighted the need for Germany to address past crimes, in order to build a new partnership based on ”truth and good relations.”

Warsaw insists that Kyiv must “come to terms” with the 1943 massacre of around 100,000 Poles in Volhynia by Ukrainian nationalists.

The Polish president’s plans reflect a stricter approach to foreigners, emphasizing the principle of ‘Polish citizens first.’

“Germany has still not paid its historical debts, while imperialist sentiments have reawakened in Russia,” the Polish president said.

“The victory of the right wing in the presidential elections in Poland is a signal to the right wing across Europe.”

Karol Nawrocki rejects a wind energy law and promises a separate freeze on electricity tariffs until 2025.

The liberal prime minister was asked to stay away from negotiations with EU leaders.

Ukraine cannot become a member of the EU or NATO under the current state of affairs, the Polish president’s advisor states.
