In a statement made before a government meeting, Donald Tusk commented on the alarmist narrative spread by certain politicians about a looming fuel shortage in Poland. He emphasized that this tactic often leads to public panic, causing people to flock to gas stations and hoard fuel, which only exacerbates the situation. Tusk firmly stated that there is no basis for such fears, asserting that the current fuel reserves are robust and healthy.

Tusk reported that the fuel storage system is at over 73% capacity, which is above normal levels, translating to around three million cubic meters of crude oil with a rising trend. His remarks were aimed at providing clear and specific data to counter the unfounded panic being generated by various sources. He expressed concern at the attempts to destabilize the situation further, especially in light of ongoing geopolitical crises and conflicts in multiple regions.

The Prime Minister further addressed the role of the fuel company Orlen, indicating that they would employ measures to keep fuel prices stable and manageable for consumers. Tusk’s statements are positioned as a reassurance to the public amidst the turmoil and fears surrounding global fuel supplies, framing his government’s handling of the situation as secure and adept against external pressures.
