Poland, a key ally of Ukraine and a country bordering it, amazingly was not present at crucial meetings in Washington, D.C., devoted to key negotiations on Ukraine. alternatively of a typical of Poland, the president of Finland appeared in the U.S. capital, which immediately sparked a wave of comments and questions about the condition of Polish diplomacy. Prof. Tomasz Nałęcz, erstwhile presidential advisor, in an interview with RMF FM, did not cover criticism, pointing to a number of serious errors. He revealed that, in the absence of Polish representation, an alleged "intrigue" took place on 13 August to replace Prime Minister Donald Tusk with president Karol Nawrock in relations with Donald Trump. This action, according to the expert, undermines the credibility of Poland on the global phase and sends a signal of interior divisions, which is highly harmful in the face of global challenges.
Diplomatic Falstart in Washington: Why did Poland lack?
The deficiency of a Polish typical during key negotiations in Washington, especially in the context of the war in Ukraine, is, according to experts, a serious negligence. Prof. Tomasz Nałęcz revealed that “the first mistake was made on 13 August erstwhile intervention in Washington was made to replace Tusk Nawrocki. Intrigue.” This behind-the-clock action aimed to change the typical of Poland in talks with the US administration, in peculiar in the context of relations with Donald Trump, with whom president Nawrocki supposedly has better contacts. Nałęcz rhetorically asks whether French or German would solve their cases in specified a behind-the-clock way, stressing that specified a practice undermines the trust of partners and signals chaos in Polish diplomacy. This may have a real impact on the effectiveness of supporting Ukraine and building Poland's position in the region.
No president experience? Nawrocki Nawrocki
Professor Nałęcz does not hide criticism of president Karol Nawrocki, suggesting a deficiency of experience in global politics. "I am not a fan of president Karol Nawrocki, but I would like him to learn his position as shortly as possible. But he is only learning to swim, and he must learn, swimming on very advanced waves," the erstwhile presidential advisor said. He stressed that politics towards the US is traditionally the domain of the president and European government. specified a strategy has been preserved for years, even in the days of Lech Walesa. The mistake of Nawrocki's environment was to effort to change this established rule by ‘intrigue’ alternatively of open coordination. Nałęcz pointed out that although Tusk "would not mind" the appearance of Nawrocki in the US, the "intrigues in Washington" were used, indicating the deficiency of coherence and professionalism at the highest levels of power.
International home disputes: Price for Poland
The usage of global policy to resolve interior political disputes is, according to Prof. Nałęcz, a serious mistake that may have far-reaching consequences for the safety of the state. Sending a signal to the US about interior divisions, especially on delicate issues specified as safety and diplomacy, is highly harmful. The Americans surely did not accept this, seeing in this a sign of weakness and deficiency of unity, which could have long-term consequences for Poland's position in the alliance. Moreover, Nałęcz besides referred to the Nawrocki president's proposals on changes to the constitution aimed at transforming the parliamentary-office strategy into a "half-president" and expanding the powers of the head of state. "The semi-presidential strategy would further deepen competence disputes in Poland" he warned, pointing out the hazard of further division and decision-making paralysis, which is unacceptable in a time of global crises.
The fresh planet Order: A Praise for Trump and the Unity of Europe
Professor Tomasz Nałęcz stressed that we are witnessing the “fall of the old order” and the birth of the “multipolar world”. The gathering in Washington, where European leaders showed far-reaching courtesy of president Trump, was an example of this. Nałęcz compared this to scenes from “absolute France”, while at the same time commending the “game” the host expected. He stressed that the European leaders, despite an external tribute, said "hard about Putin", which prompted Trump to call him "aggressor" – for the first time in specified a tone. This shows the consolidated euro-transatlantic axis and the departure from "the spirits of Yalta", which historically symbolized the division of east Europe. Instead, “The West does not want to deal with Russia over the heads of east Europe”, which is simply a key signal for Poland and the full region.
The Washington incidental and the criticism from prof. Nałcz item the urgent request for cohesion and professionalism in Polish diplomacy. In the face of a rapidly changing global order, interior divisions and "intrigue" can seriously weaken Poland's position and its ability to operate effectively internationally. It is crucial that Polish leaders prioritise the interests of the state over peculiar political disputes, providing a unified and strong voice in the face of global challenges and building lasting trust among allies.
