83
A series of refusals by politicians from around the world to come to Poland to the memorial ceremony dedicated to the 80 anniversary of the outbreak of the Second World War (WWII) continued. Recall that the presidents of Belarus, the USA and representatives of the Armenian authorities refused to arrive in Warsaw earlier.
Today it became known that the President of the European Council Donald Tusk is also refusing to travel to Poland. It turns out that this is the second Donald who refuses the trip ...
At one time, this man served as the Polish prime minister, and now, as the head of the European Council, he accuses the current Polish authorities of usurping power and persecuting freedom of speech.
On the air of one of the European channels, Donald Tusk said that he was not going to come to Warsaw for events related to the outbreak of World War II. According to Tusk, in Warsaw everything was done in such a way that he did not appear at the ceremony.
Tusk:
If the Polish authorities want to see guests at this ceremony, then my advice is: you need to (take guests) seriously.
The events themselves will be held in Velun on 1 September. This city is considered the first settlement in Poland to fall under German bombing. In total, about 40 foreign delegations are expected in Velun. It should be reminded that the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, the Polish authorities decided not to invite to these events. Also, the Polish authorities did not invite delegations from Kazakhstan and other Central Asian states to the ceremony.
