La “Polexit” ora è una vera minaccia, avverte Tusk

Poland’s prime minister warns domestic Euroskeptic forces are emboldened by allies from Moscow to America’s MAGA movement.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned on Sunday that a potential Polish exit from the European Union is now a “real threat,” accusing nationalist President Karol Nawrocki and right-wing opposition parties of steering the country toward leaving the bloc.

In a post on X, Tusk said both factions of the far-right Confederation alliance and most lawmakers from the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party wanted to push Poland out of the EU. He called such a scenario “a catastrophe” and vowed to “do everything” to stop it.

Tusk also linked the risk of “Polexit” to forces seeking to “break up the EU,” which he said included Russia, the American MAGA movement and European far-right leaders led by Hungary’s Viktor Orbán.

The warning comes after Nawrocki vetoed legislation on Thursday that would have allowed Poland to access up to €43.7 billion in low-interest EU defense loans. Tusk’s government lacks the parliamentary majority needed to override the veto, deepening uncertainty over how Poland will finance planned military spending that is set to reach nearly 5 percent of gross domestic product this year.

Tusk has warned that Nawrocki’s veto could weaken Poland’s position inside the EU.

On Friday, former PiS Europe Minister Konrad Szymański wrote in a newspaper commentary that Poland’s nationalist right was drifting onto a “road toward Polexit,” drawing parallels with the political dynamics that preceded Britain’s 2016 vote to leave the bloc.

Recent polling suggests support for Poland’s quitting the EU remains weak in the country, but it is no longer marginal. Surveys indicate roughly one in 10 to one in four Poles would back launching an exit process, even as strong majorities still favor continued membership.

So Poland will have a referendum about this?

Scaremongering. Poland has improved dramatically since joining the EU. If the EU was more responsive to its citizens than its capitalists and their allies it would have fewer “exit” stories.

In the 22 years Poland has been in the EU, the economy has tripled. Are people really dumb enough to kill the goose that lays the golden egg?

Pole-end would be a better name

Well, after the UK left the EU, the exit movements suddenly quieted down after everyone saw the mess that was Brexit. Maybe after Poland leaves we’ll see something like that again (and everyone will also save money, since Poland has been the biggest net beneficiary of the EU budget since it joined).

Poland must be the country that has benifit most on EU so why leave?

Most ungrateful EU-funds recipient

not before they put back all the money they got to rebuild their country

fucking losers

If it goes down the Orban path again.. better out than inside. The problem is that they won’t leave… they will stay and screw us all.

Any politician who supports this is compromised by Russia and/or America, full stop.

Russia would love it.

At this point, let them try it. There is just one way to find out that it is a stupid move
