The National Security Council is at the center of a dispute between the presidential office and the government regarding safety issues and the SAFE program.
The upcoming National Security Council (RBN) meeting scheduled for February 11, 2026, is highlighting a significant political conflict in Poland, centering on the figure of Włodzimierz Czarzasty and the European SAFE program. The Council, established as an advisory body to the President concerning national security, has turned into a battleground for differing views between the presidential office and the government amidst this tense political landscape.
Premier expressed discontent with the President's approach to the National Security Council, criticizing the perception that it is being used as a political tool rather than a serious body addressing critical national security issues. The premier emphasized the confusion surrounding the President's decision to allow the Council to be heavily involved in politics, thus diverting its original purpose and undermining its integrity as a security institution.
This situation reflects broader anxieties within Polish politics regarding security management and governance. The open disputes over the RBN's role raise questions about the efficacy of Poland's security frameworks and the interplay between political powers in addressing the nation's safety concerns. As tensions rise, the implications for governance amid the unresolved issues surrounding national security and political maneuvering could prove significant for both the government's stability and public trust in its institutions.
