Tusk on the Attack on Civic Platform’s Headquarters:

No Wonder, If Bąkiewicz Speaks from a Podium Provided by the Opposition Leader, Calling for Weeding Out the Weeds.

- Driving from Olsztyn to you, I also heard the news, I expected it sooner or later, about a man who tried to set fire, in this case, to the headquarters of my political party in Warsaw, with shouts which I will not quote, but you can guess, directed at me and at Civic Platform, a Molotov cocktail, a rare thing in Poland - said Prime Minister Donald Tusk during the European Forum for New Ideas.

- Frankly, no wonder, if Mr. Bąkiewicz speaks from a podium provided by the opposition leader, calling for weeding out the weeds [...] and burning this land with napalm so that weeds like you do not grow. I am saying this because this is also a dimension of the war. We must constantly be aware that this great dispute, which is taking place in Poland, in Europe, and also has a global dimension, is a dispute about fundamental matters - he continued.
