Poland will not support Tusk for second term as European Council President, conservative leader says

Jaroslaw Kaczynski, the leader of Poland’s ruling Law and Justice party (PiS), told the Polska newspaper that the Polish government will not support Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister, for a second term as President of the European Council. 

Kaczynski argued, “Tusk is a major problem. There are investigations going on in Poland in the parliament and in the prosecutor’s office that may lead to pressing some charges against him. 

Should such a person be the head of the European Council? I have serious doubts.” He added that Tusk’s “further stay in Brussels is highly risky, mainly for the EU.”
