Tusk left the National Security Council meeting before it ended. We know the reason
Donald Tusk departed the National Security Council meeting prematurely, reportedly due to his unwillingness to discuss a particular agenda item regarding the Speaker of the Sejm, along with the need to prepare for a trip to Belgium for an EU leaders' meeting.
The National Security Council meeting began around 2 PM, addressing three main topics as outlined by the Presidential Chancellery: the SAFE program, Poland's invitation to the Council of Peace, and alleged 'eastern business-social contacts' of WΕodzimierz Czarzasty. The agenda highlights Poland's international engagements and security concerns, indicating the significant nature of the discussions taking place.
Donald Tusk's exit from the meeting before it concluded drew attention, as sources confirmed he opted out of participating in discussions related to the Speaker of the Sejm. This indicates a potential political divide or discomfort regarding the ongoing internal debates within the government, particularly around the role and actions of parliamentary leaders. Furthermore, Tusk reportedly made it clear that he would not take part in this particular agenda item, reflecting his selective engagement in certain discussions.
In addition to his political reasoning for leaving, Tusk's preparation for his upcoming trip to Belgium for an informal EU leaders' gathering seems to have played a significant role in his early departure. This trip underscores Poland's active role within the European Union and the importance of maintaining diplomatic relations and dialogues on security and policy matters with other EU member states.
