Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk signaled the "real risk" that Poland could leave the European Union due to internal conflicts in the country.

The Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that there is a "real risk" that Poland could leave the European Union due to internal confrontations with President Karol Nawrocki. Tusk emphasized that these conflicts are not only harmful but also an attempt to destabilize Europe and limit Poland's role in the EU.

Criticism from the opposition, especially from the Law and Justice party, regarding the European defense funds SAFE, has been mentioned as a source of tension. Nawrocki, who must approve Poland's accession to the SAFE program, opposed it, considering that arms purchases with European funds are problematic.

Tusk warned that the president's veto on the program could lead to a political crisis, given that his coalition does not have enough votes to counter it. The defense minister from Tusk's coalition defended the necessity of European funds, stating that the national budget is not sufficient for the modernization of the army.
