Kaczyński wants to issue a warrant arrest for Tusk – Financial Times

According to an article published by the Financial Times, Law and Justice (PiS) leader might issue a European arrest warrant for the former Polish PM and current European Council President Donald Tusk. “Two senior EU diplomats said Mr Kaczynski recently refused to back Mr Tusk’s re-election in private conversations — including with Angela Merkel, German chancellor — suggesting instead that Poland may issue a 'European arrest warrant' against him,” the FT article claimed. The article talks about Tusk chances for re-elections for the EC head post. According to the daily, his chances are high “Donald Tusk’s bid to be re-elected as president of the European Council is winning broad early support from EU leaders, despite antipathy from his home state of Poland that could yet scupper his candidacy.” Tusk's biggest challenge is in Poland. “The position on it is clear: we cannot support this candidacy,” Ryszard Legutko, a member of the European Parliament and a confidant of the party leader, said to Financial Times. According to the daily, Tusk's candidacy would be a shoe-in otherwise with most member states supporting his bid. But with the current political situation in Poland, where some might see Tusk as the only chance to defeat the ruling PiS government, former PM might reconsider his position and decide to return to Polish politics.
