Coalition politicians comment on Nawrock's veto. "Worshiper and traitor"
Radosław Sikorski was 1 of the first to vote on the presidential veto.
"The president suggested in the message that the European SAFE would surrender control of the Polish Army of Brussels. It is simply a brazen lie. The president of free Poland should not be A liar and a coward." - the Deputy Prime Minister wrote.
The national defence minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, in turn, considered that Karol Nawrocki did not take advantage of the unique chance to importantly support the modernization of the Polish army. As he pointed out, veto against SAFE is veto "against the safety of Poland".
"We're going to implement Plan B., due to the fact that this is the order of the Polish state. Especially erstwhile there are fresh wars and fresh threats in the world. We cannot stay passive and number on imaginary profits and creative accounting that will not improve the strength of our army. We do not have time to wait and for empty promises" - wrote the head of PSL.
