Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar met on Wednesday in Warsaw and agreed on a joint approach in Brussels to defend the interests of their countries. Magyar's visit represents his first official foreign trip since being elected Hungarian prime minister. Index.hu ↗
Both leaders declared that they want to restore active cooperation within the Visegrad Group and strengthen the role of Central Europe in the European Union. Tusk stated that Poland and Hungary had waited years to once again be able to jointly address regional interests. The prime ministers also agreed to strengthen cooperation on energy security issues, which is threatened by the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. Magyar emphasized that European Union member states have the sovereign right to decide on their own energy policy. hnonline.sk ↗
During the meeting, the two prime ministers met in a building opposite the Russian embassy in Warsaw. Magyar was received with military honors. He then traveled to Austria, where he was received by Chancellor Stocker and President Alexander Van der Bellen. teraz.sk ↗
Tusk is also pursuing diplomacy in the West. He visited Great Britain, where he signed a cooperation treaty with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The Polish prime minister laid flowers at the monument to Polish airmen. The treaty is meant to strengthen reliable alliances that deter potential aggressors. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
At home, however, Tusk faces several crises. In Kraków, a referendum was held on the recall of Mayor Aleksander Miszalski, a member of Tusk's Civic Coalition. The referendum voted in favor of recalling the mayor, whom residents criticized over debts, low-emission zones, and general dissatisfaction with the government. Tusk subsequently decided that Miszalski would cease to be mayor, and that Commissioner Stanisław Kracik would fulfill the role until a new mayor is chosen. The left-wing opposition criticizes the result as a sign of a government crisis that could lead to a loss of trust. The right sees the referendum as the beginning of a wave of change. dennikn.sk ↗
Poland also faces security threats. For the first time, there has been a series of false alarms about fires and other threats, which Tusk attributes to coordinated groups. Firefighters broke into the apartment of a relative of President Karol Nawrocki following a false alarm. The opposition PiS party labeled the intervention a government provocation. Tusk rejects this and calls such statements cynicism or stupidity. Police have detained persons suspected of the false alarms. hnonline.sk ↗
Several workers, including prisoners and firefighters, are also complaining about the government's plans regarding changes to the social benefits system, with some announcing large-scale demonstrations. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
