Przydacz:

Rebuilding the blocking minority for the EU-Mercosur deal is very difficult, although President Nawrocki is making efforts

- Who better than Minister Sikorski can say that not every battle can be won? Indeed, the minister has already lost very, very many battles in his career. In the case of Mercosur, the government has also lost this battle, because as we all know, the blocking minority for the agreement with Mercosur existed, it existed until December 2023, and immediately after Prime Minister Tusk took office, this minority disintegrated – said Marcin Przydacz at a press conference after a meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister Marcin Bosacki.

- Today it is very difficult to rebuild it. Of course, President Karol Nawrocki is undertaking all actions, he has spoken in Paris, Rome, Helsinki, and Vilnius with the aim of attempting to rebuild this blocking minority. It is, of course, a very, very difficult process, not impossible, of course, but every effort must be made to try to achieve this. However, it may turn out that [...] at this stage, with such significant delays already on the government's side, there will be no possibility for such actions – he continued.
