- This is some kind of misunderstanding - stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk on TVP Info, when asked if Poland would withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights.

- There was a significant piece [published], speaking about Poland again, exclusively in superlatives, in "The Sunday Times", the largest opinion newspaper in Great Britain. And it was also based on conversations with me. Unnecessarily [my words caused consternation]. I mean, I take responsibility for it, but I will explain immediately - he continued.

- The journalists who spoke with me were talking about how in Great Britain, all political forces agree that the human rights convention was written several decades ago and some of its provisions are inadequate to the current situation regarding migrants. For example, it is impossible to deport migrants who are criminals. And changing the convention, it is necessary, it is a very difficult process - he explained.

"I am the last person who can be accused of indifference to human rights"

- Please be calm. I am the last person who can be accused of indifference to human rights. But as Prime Minister, and I am not alone here, before every European Council meeting, we have a meeting – currently it’s already 15 Prime Ministers or Presidents from the European Union – and before every EC meeting, we consider how to persuade all partners in another institution, which is the Council of Europe […], to seriously consider how to reform and change various types of conventions and treaties so that they correspond to reality - he continued.
