Duda Admits Tusk's Words During Government Reshuffle Ceremony Were a Provocation for Him:

That's How I Perceived It.

- You know, that's how I perceived it. I tried to deliver a conciliatory speech, even though, let's not kid ourselves, the candidacies were far from what one would expect to ensure Poland's security and peace - President Andrzej Duda said in an interview with wPolsce24, when asked if Prime Minister Donald Tusk's words during the ceremony to implement changes in the Council of Ministers constituted some kind of provocation. The head of government said at the time, among other things: "Effort, energy, goodwill, and at the same time delicacy, respect for the Constitution, were what impressed Minister Adam Bodnar, I think, everyone without exception"; "contrary to the grim legacy he inherited from his predecessor, he accomplished a truly gigantic work."
