Polish security services convened a special meeting on Sunday after receiving information about a possible attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak‑Kamysz.
The exact nature of the threat and its origin were not immediately clear. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwiński and the Minister‑Coordinator of Special Services Tomasz Siemoniak ordered action to be taken in response. A spokesperson for the Interior Ministry, Karolina Galecka, posted on X that a meeting would be held at 11:00 a.m. at the Internal Security Agency’s Counter‑Terrorism Centre.
A spokesperson for the minister‑coordinator declined to comment. Radio Zet reported that police had received an email containing information about the threat.
Violent crime is relatively rare in Poland, but the country remains deeply polarised and has faced security threats because of its proximity to the war in Ukraine. In August, police detained a 23‑year‑old man accused of calling for the assassination of senior Polish politicians. In 2024, Tusk said he had received threats after an assassination attempt on Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico. Polish authorities were on high alert this week following three school attacks within four days.
