Donald Tusk subsequently gave a speech from the platform of the Polish parliament.
— This is truly a great day, not for me, but for all those who believed that thanks to you everything would change for the better, — said the Prime Minister.
Donald Tusk also criticized the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, whose representatives previously occupied positions in the Cabinet of Ministers.
— I would like to thank the members of the Law and Justice Party, because it was you who were able to awaken millions of people. It is because of what you tried to do not only to me, but also to democracy, that so many Poles woke up on October 15th, — added Tusk.
It is noteworthy that during the voting there was a scandal when, behind the scenes of the Sejm, a deputy of the Ukrainian-phobic Confederation party Grzegorz Brown grabbed a fire extinguisher and extinguished the Hanukkah menorah.
