AI-generated summary
Reports about an informal meeting between the head of the Ministry of National Defense and Donald Trump sparked a discussion about the US influence on the Polish political scene.
Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, in an interview with RMF FM, commented on the March meeting between the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, and US President Donald Trump. The Minister of Funds and Regional Policy stated that "every Polish patriot in such a situation has parliamentary responsibility."
"Go to hell"
And this has to be said: just go to hell. The Polish government is established by Poles in Polish elections and even the very allied American state has no right to interfere in our internal affairs - she added, commenting on reports that during the meeting, Donald Trump allegedly tried to convince the head of the PSL to leave the ruling coalition and join the right wing.
I don't know exactly what he replied. However, he certainly revealed the coalition issue, she added.
She also noted that she knew about the conversation much earlier. I must say that I knew about it very quickly after the meeting, she said.
According to Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, the essence of the case is not when the information about the conversation became public, but the very fact that a foreign country attempts to influence the political situation in Poland. The key is not whether it leaked or not, but that today we know that the Americans are interfering in internal affairs, she said.
An appeal to President Nawrocki
The Minister of Funds also appealed to Karol Nawrocki, pointing out that the use of external support in national politics should not lead to the dependence of Polish decisions on the United States.
I have an appeal to the president: He believes that he will have stronger power by allowing the Americans to furnish our political scene in the center of Poland. He shouldn't do this, because sovereignty means that Poles decide what we should do and who they choose, summed up the head of Poland 2050, Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz.
"Informal conversation" between the head of the Ministry of National Defense and Donald Trump
The conversation between Donald Trump and the Minister of National Defense Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz became famous last week thanks to a post on social media by PiS MEP Adam Bielan. The politician then informed that in March he helped Deputy Prime Minister Kosiniak-Kamysz organize a meeting with someone "much more important" than American Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. On Thursday, the head of the Ministry of National Defense confirmed at a press briefing that it was a meeting with President Trump.
In turn, in an interview on Radio RMF24, Bielan said that he was one of the organizers of the meeting between Kosiniak-Kamysz and Trump, and the conversation "served" to "unblock" negotiations regarding the military base in Poland. In his opinion, previously "negotiations made practically no progress at all."
The head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Radosław Sikorski, also commented on the topic of the conversation on the "Is it because the meeting was also an attempt to involve a foreign country in our internal politics?" – he added.
When asked whether he informed Sikorski about the meeting with Trump and why no note was prepared to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Kosiniak-Kamysz replied that it was an informal meeting. I informed the Prime Minister immediately and I believe that it was most advisable and sufficient, he said.
