Tusk accuses AfD of being an anti-Polish party, Babiš is irrelevant, what matters is who is in Berlin

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has accused the German far-right AfD party of being anti-European and anti-Polish because it views Poles as the African-Americans of Europe, and stressed that he was not exaggerating when he said that only idiots and traitors could rejoice at its victory in Sunday's elections in Saxony-Anhalt, Poland.

"I will briefly remind you of what the politicians of that party, which is great for PiS and the Confederation, say about us. The AfD leader said that 'Russia is not a threat' and that a threat to Germany could be Poland. They are disgustingly relativizing history. For example? Their leader said in parliament that the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact was 'an understandable and correct decision for Stalin'. Another official said that Poles are 'the Afro-Americans of Europe'," Tusk said on the X network.

The Polish Prime Minister repeated his first comment last night on the news of the AfD's victory in the Saxony-Anhalt elections, saying that only idiots or traitors, such as those in the opposition Law and Justice party (PiS) and among radical nationalists from the Confederation, can rejoice in it in Poland.

"Yesterday I wrote that the victory of the far-right AfD in Germany can only please traitors or idiots in Poland. You think I exaggerated. No, not at all," Tusk said today in a video comment on the X network.

Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš said that the victory of the far-right in local elections in Germany is irrelevant for the Czech Republic.

"It means nothing to the Czech Republic," Babiš said after the government session, adding that it remains to be seen whether this victory will have an impact on elections elsewhere, such as in Berlin in two weeks.

"I expect that all traditional parties will unite against the AfD. It is important for us how Germany acts in the European Council. Our interests are there," Babiš said.

Like the Polish opposition, the conservative nationalists from PiS or the radicals from the Confederation who cooperate with the AfD in the European Parliament, the AfD's victory was welcomed by the leader of the Czech radical nationalists, the Freedom Direct Democracy party, a partner in Babiš's government, the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies of the Czech Parliament, Tomio Okamura.

Tomio Okamura expressed hope that this AfD victory will contribute to changing the direction of the entire European Union and said that if other parties unite against the AfD, they would be trampling on the will of German voters.
