Polish Security Services Hold Emergency Meeting Over Potential Threat to PM Tusk
Polish security services held an emergency meeting after receiving information about a potential attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz. A spokesperson for the special services described the threat as 'deadly serious' with a high probability of being carried out, though no further details were disclosed. The Interior Ministry confirmed that an email containing information about the potential attack was forwarded to police by the State Protection Service. While violent crime is rare in Poland, political polarization and proximity to Ukraine's war have raised security concerns. In 2024, Tusk mentioned receiving threats following an assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. This incident highlights growing tensions within a politically divided country that has seen previous cases of extremist activity targeting high-profile officials.
