Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for unprecedented mobilisation of Europe in the face of expanding global tensions. In his opinion, only a strong, united and able to defend Europe can number on real global significance, both in relations with its opponents and allies.
"No 1 will take a weak and divided Europe seriously: neither enemy nor ally. It's clear now. We must yet believe in our own strength, we must proceed to arm ourselves, we must be united as never before. 1 for all, all for one. Otherwise, we are finished," the Prime Minister wrote on platform X.
Tusk's entry against the background of the global crisis
The appeal of the head of the Polish government appeared 2 days after reports of American military intervention in Venezuela. According to available information, the U.S. attack occurred on the night of 2rd to 3rd January, and the operation was to include bombings and detention of president Nicolás Maduro and his wife. These events have sparked a broad global consequence and have become another signal of increasing global instability.
Position of the European Union
The European Union addressed the situation in Venezuela, calling for the release of all political prisoners. A message signed by 26 associate States stressed that "respecting Venezuelan citizens' will is the only way for the state to rebuild democracy and solve the current crisis." The EU besides stressed the request to respect human rights and avoid further escalation of the conflict.
Community countries have reported that they are in constant contact with the United States administration. 1 of the topics discussed is the situation of EU citizens presently residing in Venezuela.
The case goes to the UN
On Monday, the U.S. intervention in Venezuela is scheduled to be handled by the UN safety Council in fresh York City. The debate at the United Nations can be crucial for the further improvement and consequence of the global community.
In this context, Donald Tusk's appeal is part of a broader discussion on the future of Europe's security, its defence capabilities and the place of the Union in an increasingly confrontational planet order.
