Poland says police got information about possible attack on PM and Defence Minister
- On Sunday, Polish authorities convened an emergency meeting at the Internal Security Agency's Counter-Terrorism Centre after police received credible information regarding a potential assassination attempt against Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz.
- Describing the threat as "deadly serious," special services spokesperson Jacek Dobrzynski stated that authorities consider there is a "high probability" the plot could be carried out, though officials declined to provide specific details about the warning's origin.
- Intelligence sources indicated the warning included specific addresses linked to Tusk and Kosiniak-Kamysz; reports from daily newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza suggest the threat originated from "right-wing extremists," making this communication more disturbing than previous warnings.
- Government spokesperson Adam Szlapka confirmed Tusk was briefed Sunday morning at around 7 a.m., stating "the matter is serious," while emphasizing the Prime Minister remains in Warsaw and continues his official duties.
- This alert follows a week of heightened vigilance in Poland, where authorities manage both a surge in school violence and ongoing hybrid attacks by Russia intended to weaken Western support for Ukraine.
