– Article 5 [of the North Atlantic Treaty] must not be undermined in any way today. I was very surprised when my opponent, Karol Nawrocki, when asked about Article 5, specifically whether Poland would send troops if another NATO country were attacked, said he needed to think about it. I would rather he didn't think at all, because it is truly dangerous – said Rafał Trzaskowski during a meeting with residents in Słupca.

– I don't even assume it's ill will, I simply assume that my opponent has no idea what he is talking about, but that is also dangerous, so one must be aware of this. Article 5 is inviolable […] I spoke with the Secretary General of NATO two days ago and he is in constant communication with the Americans. The Americans are clear: Article 5 is inviolable, we will always come to the rescue – he continued.
