Tusk gives up immunity over defamation accusation

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk voluntarily gave up his parliamentary immunity on Thursday, July 2, in connection with a defamation accusation. The lawsuit against him was filed by the Sovereign Poland Institute, which accuses him of making false statements about financial matters. aktuality.sk ↗

The information was confirmed by a spokesperson for the Polish government. By doing so, Tusk made it possible for the matter to be handled without the protection afforded to him by his parliamentary mandate. Available articles do not go into further detail about the accusation itself. hnonline.sk ↗

The prime minister is set to appear at a press conference at the office of the head of government on Friday, July 3, at 12:00. At the same time, he faces other political issues. Poland's public debate is dominated by relations with Ukraine, where Karol Nawrocki is pushing for a tougher stance toward Kyiv, while Tusk is calling for dialogue and easing tensions. A survey examined which of these strategies has greater public support. Onet Wiadomosci ↗

Other players in public life are also turning to the prime minister. The chairman of the Supreme Medical Council, Łukasz Jankowski, said that the medical community has no one to negotiate with about improving working conditions, adding that he has approached Tusk three times. Confederation MP Bartłomiej Pejo sent the prime minister a hundred letters concerning his pre-election promises. Onet Wiadomosci ↗

Further developments may become clearer at Friday's press conference, particularly whether Tusk will explain the legal step and respond to the broader political pressure.
