Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk has warned that a possible departure of the country from the European Union, known as "Polexit," has become a real threat. He has described such a scenario as a "catastrophe" and promised to do everything to prevent it.
According to Tusk, nationalist forces within the country, including allies of Karol Nawrocki and the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, are pushing Poland towards leaving the European Union.
He warns that this trend could have dramatic consequences for the country's economic and political stability.
Tusk also stressed that the threat to the integrity of the European Union comes not only from within Poland, but also from external actors, including Russia, the MAGA movement in the United States, and leaders of the European far-right, led by Hungary's Viktor Orbán.
Tusk's warning reflects growing tensions in Poland over the country's role in the EU and the influence of nationalist movements. He has called for unity within the country and continued support for Poland's position within the European Union, stressing that a possible departure would cause great uncertainty and weaken the country's position on the international stage.
At a time when nationalist forces are gaining ground and the debate over national sovereignty versus European integration is intensifying, Tusk's warning shows that the fear of a "Polexit" is turning from a hypothetical scenario into a tangible political concern.
