Minister of abroad Affairs Radosław Sikorski is present attending the European abroad Affairs Council gathering in Brussels. During the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister referred to Trump's last request for NATO and commented on the current communicative in Poland about leaving the European Union.
NATO is not "they", or anxiety in the Polish Ministry of abroad Affairs
In Thematics we have already described Donald Trump's ultimatum, which demands allies to support in unlocking the Strait of Ormuz. The situation in the mediate East, the aftermath of Operation "Epicka Furia", is becoming increasingly inflamed and begins to straight contact members of the North Atlantic Pact. Radosław Sikorski, asked about this issue in Brussels, expressed skepticism about the way the American president defines today's relations within the alliance.
– It is simply a bit worrying that Donald Trump is talking about NATO "they" alternatively than "we". My information shows that the NATO procedures have not yet been launched (...), but if the U.S. turns to NATO for the protection of the Ormuz, we will consider this – declared the Minister.
Sikorski pointed out that the escalation of the conflict is starting to seriously endanger the east runs of the Pact. "Unfortunately, I think the 4th rocket has already been launched towards Turkey, a NATO member, so Turkey would be entitled to request discussion under Article 4. Just like erstwhile Russian drones or fighter jets flew on us or Estonia. You know that president Nawrocki excluded Poland's participation in this operation – added the head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs, clearly contrasting diplomatic caution of the government with the hard, negative position of Karol Nawrocki. For Sikorski, specified Trump's setting of matters undermines the foundations of trust on which Europe's safety has been built over the past decades.
Lesson from Brexit: Lying has short legs but long effects
As powerfully as the situation in the Straits of Ormuz, the head of Polish diplomacy is exacerbating the rhetoric of any Polish politicians, who are playing with the Polexit card. Sikorski noted that the process of moving the country out of the European community does not start with authoritative documents, but with systematically lying to the public and building a false image of Brussels as an enemy of sovereignty. According to the Deputy Prime Minister, any politicians in the country are already falling for a communicative where the European Union appears to be a greater threat than, for example, Vladimir Putin's aggressive imperialism.
In Brussels, the Minister cited a painful example from a decade ago, which should be a informing to all of us against playing with national emotions.
– Let us remember that the British Government, erstwhile announcing a referendum on exiting the European Union, besides said that it was absolutely against exiting. And yet they left. 1 can movie emotions, lie about the European Union, that people will believe it – any nonsense about the threat of sovereignty – completely imaginary, alternatively of focusing on a very real danger, or Putin's aggression – Sikorski scored.
The head of the MFA stressed that alternatively of pursuing lies and imaginary threats, it is crucial to build up a solid cognition of what the Union is, due to the fact that in these troubled times, weakening our position in Europe is simply a political suicide.
