Poland: Investigations into possible plans to attack Prime Minister Tusk

Polish authorities are not only tense because of a wave of violence in schools. In addition to Tusk, an attack could also have been planned on another top politician.

Warsaw. Poland is investigating information about possible plans to attack the country's head of government and defense minister. A spokeswoman for the Interior Ministry announced this on the online platform X on Sunday. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiski has ordered measures in this matter. The police received information about a possible attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz.

Polish authorities are currently on heightened alert due to a wave of violence in schools. A caretaker was killed on Thursday. In the past few days, police arrested 117 people. Cybercrime specialists are investigating whether a challenge on social media could be the trigger for the wave of violence.

But so far there is no indication of this. “We are not dealing with a large-scale, organized group of people who want to create a threat,” Tusk said on Sunday before a special meeting with the interior minister and representatives of the police and secret service. These are spontaneous actions that go back to a growing fascination with violence among young people.
