Tusk is afraid of the right wing in Germany, in his own country, in Europe.
The landslide victory of the Alternative for Germany in the regional Saxony elections continues to generate waves across the continent.
Online, several conservative personalities celebrated the victory, including the richest man in the world, Elon Musk.
But right across the border, in Poland, there’s heavy debate over the issue.
Liberal-Globalist Prime Minister Donald Tusk has unleashed heavy criticism of the victory of AfD’s Ulrich Siegmund, and especially of the celebrations of the fact.
BILD reported (translated from the German):
“’In Poland, only idiots or traitors can rejoice over the triumph of the AfD in Germany’, wrote Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk (69) on X.
‘Idiots or traitors’ – Tusk’s criticism is unusually sharp. His words have to do with the crimes of Nazi Germany in Poland, but are also directed against the opposition in his own country and the current threat from Russia.
[…] A member of parliament from the right-wing nationalist opposition party Konfederacja countered the prime minister’s accusation of being an ‘idiot’. He understands this frustration, says Konrad Berkowicz (42). Tusk is in danger of being ‘turned off from the money tap’ from Germany. Further: ‘You have reason to be afraid!’”

Aktual24 reported (translated from the Romanian):
“Tusk was referring to politicians from the nationalist Confederation party, as well as members of the conservative Law and Justice party, Poland’s main opposition party. Some of the representatives of the Polish radical right presented the result in Saxony-Anhalt as a revolt of voters against the traditional parties and policies of the European Union.
An AfD MEP of Polish origin, Tomasz Froelich, ironically replied to the prime minister: “Herr Tusk, eat a Snickers!”.
Tusk’s message must be seen in the context of the AfD’s positions towards Russia, Ukraine and even Poland. The German party calls for the restoration of economic relations with Moscow; the lifting of sanctions imposed on Russia and the reduction or cessation of military aid to Ukraine.
Poland is one of Kyiv’s main European backers and considers Russia the most important threat to its security. Warsaw invested heavily in defense after the invasion of Ukraine, building the largest land army in the European Union.”
