Poland detains man who threatened Tusk and prepared attack on PM

Confirmation of suspect's detention

Polish police have managed to neutralise the threat and detain a man who was preparing an attack on Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. This information was released by the country's Minister of Interior and Administration, Marcin Kierwiński.

The official government representative did not disclose the identity of the detainee, did not provide details regarding the circumstances of his arrest, and did not explain the specifics of the possible attack preparation.

Details previously reported in the press

Even before the minister's official statement, the Polish publication Gazeta Wyborcza reported that the threat of an assassination attempt had been detected and that the likely perpetrators had been identified. This information is based on data from sources in government circles and security services.

According to the newspaper's sources, law enforcement agencies received a warning containing specific addresses. Donald Tusk and Kosiniak-Kamysz could have been at these locations. The message also contained information about their imminent plans.

Possible source of the threat

Gazeta Wyborcza sources claimed that the threat could have come from representatives of right-wing radical circles. Despite this, Minister Kierwiński's official comment left these details unclarified, limiting himself to the fact of the suspect's detention.
