Polish President Andrzej Duda is wary of the actions of his personal security amid the arrests of former head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Mariusz Kaminski and his deputy Maciej Wonsik, reports the Polish Gazeta Wyborcza. The newspaper’s sources claim that after the arrests, Duda began to fear for his own safety, and then “fell into a rage” because of the actions of the new prime minister and his political opponent Donald Tusk.
Duda seriously believes that Tusk can use the president’s guards to eliminate political rivals. In particular, the Polish leader is confident that the new prime minister supposedly has “his own people” among the presidential security service. And immediately after the arrests of his comrades in the previous government, Duda accused the head of his personal security of “betrayal,” journalists write.
In addition, the Polish president wanted to completely abandon the security service and assign all security functions to the military gendarmerie, but, according to current legislation, this is impossible to do.
Let us remember that Duda represents the ultra-conservative Law and Justice party, which lost the last parliamentary elections. At the same time, the new Prime Minister Tusk won the vote along with the liberal “Civic Coalition” and formed his own pro-European government. These two political forces are in opposition to each other, so conflicts periodically occur between the president and the prime minister. According to Tusk, the arrests of the leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are part of a campaign to return Poland to the position of democracy and law.
