Donald Tusk did not spare Andrzej Duda. What will be the presidential response?
There is no silence about Andrzej Duda’s desire to take over the reins of the International Olympic Committee. This time Donald Tusk reacted.
President Duda’s plans for the International Olympic Committee became famous several months ago. At that time, it seemed that the candidacy itself was rather unlikely. Although it is possible, as experts emphasized. Well, it turned out that, after finishing his presidential duties in Poland, Andrzej Duda would actually want to move to the sports side of managing the Olympic movement.
Donald Tusk reacts to Andrzej Duda’s move. It indicates a certain mistake
Sławomir Nitras was the first to react to the whole situation. The minister responsible for the Ministry of Sport and Tourism pointed to a step that may result in Duda replacing… two-time Olympic vice-champion, Maja Włoszczowska.
– First, A. Duda arranged a position for R. Piesiewicz. Now Piesiewicz wants to retaliate against Duda in a weak style. Everything is done at the expense of a competent Polish Olympic medalist who is consistently building her international position. Women. You’re having a bad time, gentlemen,” Nitras pointed out.
Of course, it is no secret that there are significant tensions between the ministry and the Polish Olympic Committee, headed by the above-mentioned Radosław Piesiewicz. It is worth recalling that right after the Olympic Games in Paris, a number of inspections were scheduled to show the public what was really happening at the Polish Olympic Committee on the occasion of the most important event of the triennium (exceptionally 2021 to 2024).
After Nitras’ words, Prime Minister Tusk spoke. Of course, similarly pointing out the bizarre situation related to Włoszczkowska and Duda.
– Bad people apparently maneuvered the President into this Olympic scandal. As soon as he realizes that he has taken the place of an Olympic medalist, active in the IOC for years, respected and competent, he will certainly make the right decision – this is Tusk’s entry from Saturday late evening.
Under the entry of the minister and the prime minister, there were, of course, many comments from supporters of both political sides. There are also suggestions that Duda’s candidacy – approved by the Polish Olympic Committee – will not actually affect Włoszczowska’s position. Regardless of what actually happens, it is still difficult to rationally explain why President Duda wants to pursue sports and his professional career.
