WARSAW — Polish authorities launched an investigation Sunday into a reported assassination threat targeting Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defense Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz.
The Interior Ministry said police had received a report concerning a possible assassination attempt against the two senior government officials.
Interior Ministry spokesperson Karolina Galecka said Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski and Tomasz Siemoniak, the minister responsible for overseeing intelligence services, had ordered immediate action in response to the report.
In a statement posted on X, Galecka said representatives of Poland’s security services were expected to hold an emergency meeting to assess the threat and coordinate their response.
Government spokesperson Adam Szlapka described the situation as serious, confirming that Tusk had been informed of the reported threat on Sunday morning.
“The matter is serious,” Szlapka told private broadcaster Polsat News, according to TVP World.
He said the prime minister remained in Warsaw and was continuing his official duties despite the reported threat.
“The security services are, of course, working on the matter, and all information that can be disclosed at this stage will be provided immediately after the meeting,” Szlapka said.
