- The situation we are discussing took place two weeks ago. For the first time in the history of the Third Polish Republic after '89, the heads of services refused to meet with a democratically elected Polish president - said President Karol Nawrocki in an interview with Danuta Holecka on the TV Republika program 'Gość Dzisiaj' ('Guest Today').

- I did not intend to be petty like the Prime Minister, and I considered that this situation of refusing to meet with me, it was clearly stated that it was on the orders of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, should not be part of public discussion and debate - he continued.

- The heads of services did not come for a conversation with the president, nor to determine what the next promotions to the first officer ranks should look like. However, the Prime Minister went a step further, he decided to say it publicly, which was very irresponsible. I hope the Prime Minister will draw consequences from this, and that this is the first and last time he resorts to Twitter politics around security issues, leaving me no opportunity to also respond publicly to this - he continued.

- I don't know who it concerned, I invited all four heads of Polish services [...] I invited the heads of services a week in advance [...] I did not receive information as to why they didn't come, only after some time that Prime Minister Donald Tusk forbade them. Of course, I leave the heads of services to their conscience, let them consider in their hearts whether a high-ranking officer of the Polish state behaves in such a way, by refusing to meet with the President of Poland, but I think this situation should never have happened - he added.

- I am waiting for an apology and for the heads of services to appear before the President of Poland, to also discuss officer promotions - he emphasized.
