“I have no questions for Donald Tusk. You don’t ask liars questions,” said Janusz Kowalski, an MP for PiS.
“June 1 marked the end of the project called Donald Tusk, just like communism ended 26 years ago. This is the end of the prime minister of illegal migrants, the prime minister of public finance disaster, the prime minister of lies and contempt for Poles,” Kowalski said.
In his speech, Tusk defended his government’s record and urged parliament to reaffirm its backing for him, saying “11.5 million voters handed the responsibility for Poland” to the coalition in the 2023 election that ended eight years of PiS-led governments.
Contrary to some expectations, however, the PM did not offer a broad outlook on what his government is planning to do before 2027, the year of the next general election which could see Tusk’s government swept from power.
Tusk cited rising defense expenditure, a drop in the number of visas issued to migrants from Asia and Africa, and an expansion of social spending as key achievements of his Cabinet.
He also pointed to economic growth accelerating to more than 3 percent in 2025 so far, compared to just 0.2 percent in 2023, the last year of PiS’s rule.
