– What more needs to be said here? It’s a shame we are discussing this in the context of very important state matters. This is not a complaint, but I am truly concerned and determined about what will happen in the next few hours and days, because we will also have important meetings over the weekend, and I would prefer us to talk about Poland in those categories, not about something so embarrassing that is coming to light regarding Mr. Nawrocki’s past life – stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw.

– I am not surprised. I mean, I am very dismayed. I am the Prime Minister of the Polish government, and such individuals should not hold office like the President of the IPN [Institute of National Remembrance], and they certainly should not be seeking the highest state honours, dignities such as the presidency – he continued.
