This is Donald Tusk's first important post-election interview. Early communication with the public He mainly led press conferences. The conversation broadcast on the biggest TV channels was led by: Anita Werner (TVN24), Piotr Witwicki (Polat News) and Marek Chizhi (TVP Info).
The first question was about the pardon procedure for Maciej Wąsik and Mariusz Kaminski. It was missed by Andrzej Duda.
– There is no time and space for surprise. I am leading the Polish government in a very difficult time. An example of this is the confusion surrounding the arrest and pardon of Messrs. Vasik and Kaminski, the head of the Civic Platform said.
He added that he would not discuss Andrzej Duda's motivation because “he is not a psychologist.” – In this specific context, Poland must become a state of law. I have nothing to say about the attempts to pardon Mr. Vesik and Kaminsky, because I do not have these competencies – he said.
– I would like everyone in Poland to finally do what they have to do according to the regulations. So that he does not seek comfort and pursue party interests. If Duda pardons Vasik and Kaminsky, they will be released, he emphasized.
The prime minister said that it would be important for him if people like the president “start to recognize the force of the law”. – Even if it is inconvenient – he said.
– No one thinks that, in my opinion, it is a comfortable situation that Mr. Vesik and Kaminsky are in prison. This type of emotion and tension is not cool for our government. The new Poland, the reborn Poland, must be a state where everyone fulfills the duties imposed by law. The state will act, he added.
– I will be completely indifferent whether Vesik or Kaminski will be in the Sejm or their successors in the lists. We would all be more comfortable without this confusion. But there are state institutions and law for that, not my need for comfort, he said.
