"How Charles Nawrocki must have enjoyed. With his first authoritative visit as the president of Poland, the nationalist went – where else – to the United States, to Donald Trump. Nawrocki, like his right-wing allies, is an enemy of liberal democracy and a friend of the U.S. President's Nationalist MAG movement," writes the Berlin left-wing diary "Die Tageszeitung" (TAZ), commenting on Nawrocki's visit to Washington.
Commentary author Anastasia Zejneli estimates that the gathering at the White home seemed to have been successful at first glance.
"Trump announced the stationing of US troops in Poland. He thus responded to Poland's concerns that American troops would be withdrawn. For Navrotsky, Trump's promise fits into his own anti-European narrative: strong Poland only needs Americans as a large ally. Poland has a historically established interest in relations with the USA," writes the journalist.
He adds that for Nawrocki the readiness of Americans to deploy fresh troops in Poland "is only a success".
"However, Trump's vague promises come not from Nawrocki's attitude, but alternatively from decades of diplomacy. In addition, having specified an uncertain partner as Trump, we do not know what further US support for Poland will look like. That is why it is right that Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk is inactive in favour of common European solutions" – Anastasia Zejnelli estimates.
Nawrocki veto
The author accuses the Polish president that while Tusk was gathering in Paris with a "coal of willing" to discuss common solutions for a safe Europe, "Nawrocks are distancing themselves from the government's abroad policy line".
"Nawrocks, in line with the concerns of progressive forces, strive exclusively to prosecute their nationalistic interests. This welcomes Russian president Vladimir Putin, who watches all crack in the European community. Nawrocki's nationalism has late besides been felt by Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Nawrocki blocked further financial assistance for families with his veto," writes writer "TAZ".
In her opinion, the fact that "by specified a policy loses the support of the public, does not seem to be curious in the man who wants to be 'the voice of the Polish people'".
