- We must be aware that today Poland is in a more difficult situation than it could be, partly due to the decision made by Minister Macierewicz, because we are paying a terrible price for what happened at the beginning of the PiS government's tenure. This was when Mr. Macierewicz was the head of the Ministry of National Defence. In 2015, at the end of our government's term, the decision was made to purchase Patriots. This was questioned by Minister Macierewicz and instead of 8 batteries, an agreement was eventually signed for 2 batteries, which was then done by Minister Błaszczak, but long years passed. The same happened with the tender procedure for armed drones of such tactical importance, and Antoni Macierewicz also annulled the ongoing tender procedures - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference at the Chancellery of the Prime Minister.
