The former head of Poland’s Internal Security Agency (ABW), who led the service under the last government, has accused Prime Minister Donald Tusk of lying about…

Former head of the Internal Security Agency, Krzysztof Wacławek, responded to reports that the service was checking Karol Nawrocki. He was critical of both the words of the spokesman for the Minister of Internal Affairs and the commentary of Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

Krzysztof Wacławek, former head of the Internal Security Agency, has responded to reports of alleged irregularities in the issuance of a security certificate to Karol Nawrocki, current president of the Institute of National Remembrance. "Once again, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is not telling the truth," he wrote in an official statement.

"Once again, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is wrong," Wacławek pointed out.

Donald Tusk lied when he claimed that an ABW officer from Gdańsk issued a negative opinion regarding the security certificate for Karol Nawrocki.

Once again, Prime Minister Donald Tusk is not telling the truth - wrote Krzysztof Wacławek, former head of the Internal Security Agency, in a specially issued statement. In the document, he refers to the Prime Minister's last words on the not very reliable verification of Karol Nawrocki by the services in the past.
