Sikorski with eloquent commentary on SAFE. Just 2 words and a photograph from Russia

The blocking of the SAFE Act by Karol Nawrocki echoed not only in Poland, but besides in Russia. This fact was not overlooked by the head of diplomacy Radosław Sikorski, who posted a short but very meaningful comment online. What does it say about us in Moscow now?


On 27 February, the Sejm made a final decision on SAFE. president Karol Nawrocki had 21 days to make his decision since then. He did so before the deadline and, as predicted by Donald Tusk, announced a presidential veto.

Why did Charles Nawrocki veto the SAFE Act?

In his message, president Karol Nawrocki gave his decision on an EU debt under the SAFE programme.

– The SAFE mechanics is simply a immense abroad loan, drawn for 45 years in a abroad currency, the cost of which may be up to PLN 180 billion. Poles will so gotta return the second amount as the value of the debt granted, and Western banks and financial institutions will gain there. You can compare that to the francs. Everything was to be safe and then installments grew so much that it led to powerful financial crises," he said.

The presidential veto has made billions of European Union funds for reinforcements under the SAFE programme not available. For now, due to the fact that the Prime Minister and the government are already announcing the implementation of the backup "Plan B". It all sparked a immense discussion on the Internet, including among politicians.

The Minister of abroad Affairs added a comment with a screenshot from a Russian article entitled "The president of Poland vetoed an crucial law on the defence of the country".

"Happy of himself, Karol Nawrocki, Jarosław Kaczyński?" he asked briefly under the graphic on the X site and marked the President-in-Office and the Leader of Law and Justice.



The head of diplomacy has already commented very powerfully on all the confusion. In 1 of the entries he added a board with a large inscription "national betrayal". In another, he criticized the President's argument.

"President Karol Nawrocki suggested in the message that the European SAFE would surrender control of the Polish Army of Brussels. It is simply a brazen lie. He chickened out before Kaczyński. The president of free Poland should not be a liar and a coward" – he thundered in his post.

Russian portal about the veto of the Polish President

The drop comes from the website MK.ru, which is the digital edition of the popular paper "Moskowski Komsomolec". The editors "dry" and without emotion describe the halting of support for the Polish army, mainly on the basis of this message. Any Russian can draw his own conclusions.

"Polish president Karol Nawrocki refused to sign a bill allowing the government to get a debt of EUR 44 billion under the EU SAFE programme" – reads the Russian portal.

"The head of the state has seen financial hazard to the country in this transaction," indicates Moscow source. In the following part of the article, abroad journalists note that EU authorities gave green light to these funds in January.

"However, Karol Nawrocki stated that he would not sign this bill. According to the head of the state, the proposed lending mechanics is unfavourable to the state" – the Russian service reports directly.

"The president pointed out that this was a immense abroad debt for 45 years in a abroad currency, from which interest could amount to PLN 180 billion," we read further.

At the very end of the article, Russian readers are given an explanation that SAFE is simply a strategy of cheap, long-term credits created by the EU. All so that associate States can buy modern military equipment efficiently and quickly.
