"Like with children." Tusk reacted to Hołownia's words about the coup.

On Friday, July 25, Szymon Hołownia shocked the public by speaking on Polsat News about proposals he considered to be incitement to high treason. Prime Minister Donald Tusk responded to this statement in Pabianice on Saturday.

Donald Tusk commented on Szymon Hołownia's words

"I'll tell you, it's a bit like children on vacation. I'm not saying it's a child, just so you understand me. We've also recently seen examples of how frivolous behavior or frivolous words can have very serious consequences," said the Prime Minister.

"When we send our children on vacation, we tell them, 'Don't do stupid things, because stupid things can turn into drama.' It's exactly the same in politics. Words, gestures, careless decisions..." he continued his comparison. He added that while some might simply consider it frivolous, such behavior can have serious consequences "for people, for entire countries."

– With your help, I will also ask everyone who still cares as much, or a little bit as much, as we cared about the same thing on October 15th to get their act together and understand that politics is a serious game – Tusk emphasized, addressing the residents of Pabianice.

The Prime Minister emphasized that he was constantly mindful of "external and internal considerations." "In politics, there can be no room, or as little room as possible, for races, traitors, fools, or people without imagination, because serious matters are in our hands," he reminded.

“Coup d’état.” What exactly did Hołownia say?

In his program "Gość Wydarzeń," Szymon Hołownia revealed the behind-the-scenes political pressures that followed the announcement of the presidential election results. He emphasized that there was no shortage of voices suggesting he acted in a way he himself called a coup d'état.

"I've been approached, suggested, and questioned many times about whether I'm ready to stage a coup, because that's what it boils down to," the politician said in an interview with Marcin Fijołek. "Politicians, lawyers, and various people who were frustrated with the presidential election results came to me," he added.

The Speaker emphasized, however, that he had no intention of giving in to persuasion. "I will not be the subject of a coup d'état. I did not vote for Karol Nawrocki; he was not my candidate. However, as Speaker of the Sejm, I am obligated to respect the will of the majority of voters, administer the oath of office to the President, ensure the continuity of the Armed Forces' authority and power in Poland, and speak with the President, with whom we share divergent views on many issues," he assured.
