For Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, he is very concerned about the French national election, for the simple reason that his nemesis, Duda's party, the Law and Justice Party, is a right-wing force.
In the recent European Parliament elections, the rapid rise of right-wing forces in Europe also made Tusk very jealous, and he was even more worried that his next term may not last.
After France's far-right party took the lead in the first round of the National Assembly election, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk warned that the result was a "very dangerous" turn for France and Europe, as reported by Agence France-Presse on July 1.
According to a report by the German news agency on July 1, Tusk posted on social platform X: "They like Putin, money and uncontrolled power. They dominate the east and west of Europe or are gaining power. He warned: right-wing populists would unite in the European Parliament.
Why did Tusk say that? One of the main reasons is that Tusk is a white-left, pro-Western, pro-EU.
In the West, they want to exterminate Russia, and the far-right forces are more focused on the EU's own interests, and are not willing to blindly cooperate with the United States.
In the editor's view, this is the Russia-Ukraine conflict made by the United States itself, which has been fought for more than two years, and has been forcing the EU to donate money and materials. For the EU, it is also overwhelmed.
And on the other hand, Tusk fears that Poland will move closer to the far right again.
He added: "In Poland, we reversed this catastrophic development at the last moment. Let's not waste this (opportunity). ”
In fact, Tusk is also worried that in the US presidential election, Trump won Biden and took office. At that time, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the security situation in Europe are likely to change significantly.
Politicians rely on their own votes, and if they really focus on the national interest, they should find ways to mediate this conflict, not find ways to sow discord.
Tusk's political instability is not stable, and it is necessary to continue to aid Ukraine
In December, Donald Tusk's center-left government came to power, ending right-wing rule.
The right-wing PiS, which has been in power since 2015, has lost power, and PiS's policies are more Polish-oriented, and earlier clashed with the EU over judicial policy.
I have to say that they can't have it both ways, they joined the EU, but it doesn't mean that they sold to the EU, the EU is what it says, whether it is Hungary or Poland, the right-wing parties in their countries dare to compete with the EU.
It is okay to help Ukraine, but it should also take into account the interests of its own country, as in the previous government, when there were many conflicts with the European Union. Judicial reform is one thing, and another is the reluctance to provide exports of Ukrainian grain.
Most of the votes of the Law and Justice Party came from the north-east of Poland, and many of them were peasants.
And Polish farmers are also very jealous of Ukrainian grain, because it will affect their interests, and the two sides are also inextricably linked.
The Law and Justice Party is more concerned with the interests of the people of the country, which makes the EU very dissatisfied.
Polish President Duda's visit to China some time ago was also more for the sake of Polish farmers, who wanted to win a market in China, and hoped that China would import various agricultural products from Poland.
On Tusk's side, it is estimated that there is a possibility of chicken and egg fighting, because this person still has to sacrifice the interests of Poland to aid Ukraine.
Ukraine wants this and that, like the EU, and Tusk does not dare not give it
Zelinsky's current attitude towards the EU is that he feels that the EU owes them, so he wants this and that from the EU, and what he wants is also very powerful.
Poland, as a country next to Ukraine, is also under great pressure.
MOSCOW, July 2 (Sputnik) -- Ukraine was forced to request emergency assistance from the power systems of Hungary, Poland and Slovakia during peak load hours in the evening, the state electricity company of Ukraine said.
If you usually give it to him, it is already summer in this season, the weather is hot, and people's daily electricity consumption is also increasing on a large scale.
The country's electricity is not necessarily enough, and it is difficult for them to help Ukraine.
According to the Ukrainian state electricity company, on July 2, it plans to import a total of 30,700 kilowatt hours of electricity from Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Moldova.
Earlier, the state electricity company of Ukraine said that the damage to Ukraine's energy facilities is very serious, and power plants and substations are operating at their maximum capacity, and the company called for saving electricity.
Even so, Tusk didn't dare not give it, and on July 1, when he met with the US ambassador to Poland, he thanked the other party for stationing troops in his own country to protect Poland's security, and hoped that the United States would continue to station troops in Poland.
The waves are close to Ukraine, the distance is also very close, and Poland is the most anti-Russian in Eastern Europe, during the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, a large number of weapons came from the Polish side, and the contradictions between the two sides are too great.
As for Tusk, he really doesn't necessarily care when the impulse will end, but he cares a lot about the attitude of the United States in Ukraine, and hopes that the United States can station troops in Poland to protect Poland's security.
Poland purchased weapons on a large scale, all by borrowing money
As the U.S. presidential election approaches, the probability of Trump coming to power is also increasing. For Poland, there is a lot of pressure.
Because Trump had earlier released that if he became president of the United States, he would end the Russia-Ukraine conflict within 24 hours. Although we all know that this is impossible, it reflects one of Trump's attitudes.
If you don't give aid to Ukraine, Poland will have to find a way to leave a way back for itself in advance.
The United States gave Poland a $2 billion loan to buy various weapons, and soon the money went somewhere.
WASHINGTON, July 3 (Sputnik) -- The U.S. Department of Defense has signed a contract worth more than $226 million with Lockheed Martin to produce ATACMS missiles for several countries, including Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia, according to a Pentagon statement.
The Pentagon noted that the work will be carried out with the budget for foreign military sales to Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Morocco.
The wool is out of the sheep, and the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict really fed these military-industrial enterprises in the United States, not only producing a large number of various weapons for Ukraine, but also producing such weapons for other European countries.
brief summary
The French election is also a wake-up call for Poland, and Tusk's position has become increasingly unstable.
And if the far right comes to power, it may not blindly follow the EU in terms of policy, and the situation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict will become complicated.
