Wiadomości z Europy, 12 października 2026 — Poland: alleged assassination plot targeting Donald Tusk, what we know

prometheus.fr 🇵🇱 POLAND | Alleged assassination plot targeting Donald Tusk: what we know

On October 11, Polish authorities announced the arrest of a man suspected of plotting an attack against Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.

🔎 A threat taken seriously: the suspect was reportedly identified through an analysis of online content. Security services quickly coordinated their response.

⚠️ Suspicions point to radical far-right circles: this possibility has been raised in the press amid deep political polarisation. However, no public evidence has yet established a link to any specific political organisation.

🇪🇺 A democratic concern: the case highlights the risks that radicalisation and political violence pose to European institutions.

The exact circumstances of the alleged plot and the individual responsibilities involved remain to be established. An arrest is not proof of guilt.

  2. Two political leaders potentially targeted

    Polish authorities received information indicating a possible attack against:

    • Donald Tusk, Prime Minister of Poland.
    • Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence.

    Following an urgent alert, an emergency meeting was subsequently held at the Internal Security Agency’s (ABW) Anti-Terrorist Centre.

    Authorities described the threat as particularly serious and ordered immediate measures.

    At this stage, the precise details of the alleged plot and how far preparations had progressed remain partly unknown.

  4. An ongoing investigation

    According to Reuters, the suspect is a man in his sixties who was arrested in Lower Silesia, in south-western Poland.

    The Interior Minister stated that investigators had identified him through an in-depth analysis of content posted online.

    Donald Tusk praised the speed of the police response. However, the authorities have not made all the details needed to reconstruct the alleged plot public.

  5. A concerning political and security climate

    Suspicions point to radical far-right circles, although no link to a specific political organisation has been publicly established.

    The case comes amid deep polarisation in Poland between the pro-European government and a powerful national-conservative opposition.

    Key takeaway: the threat is being taken seriously, but individual responsibility and any organisational links remain to be established. Caution is essential before drawing political conclusions.

  2. Budget

    2028–2034 EU budget: proposed cut

    Facing pressure from the so-called "frugal" states, the Irish Presidency of the Council of the EU is proposing an 8% cut (-€160 billion) to the €2 trillion proposed by the Commission. This reduction aims to unblock negotiations and seal a transitional agreement by the end of 2026. The budget would drop to €1.84 trillion over 7 years, or around €263 billion per year—which remains 30% higher than the 2021–2027 budget.

  3. Trade

    Interim EU-China trade deal

    The EU and China have concluded a transitional trade agreement to de-escalate the tariff war. Beijing agrees to reduce its exports of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles to the European market by up to 50%, in exchange for targeted tariff cuts. The deal protects the European automotive industry while safeguarding other key sectors from economic retaliation.

  4. EU programmes

    European Parliament: adoption of the AGILE programme

    Parliament has approved the interinstitutional agreement on AGILE (Programme for Agile and Rapid Defence Innovation), backed by €115M. This mechanism accelerates funding (granted within 4 months) and cuts red tape for SMEs and startups developing breakthrough defence technologies (AI, quantum, cyber). The scheme will enter into force in early 2027 to strengthen strategic autonomy.

  5. Elections

    Latvian parliamentary election: victory for Andris Kulbergs

    The United List (AS), party of centrist Prime Minister Andris Kulbergs, won the parliamentary election with 35.29% of the vote. This success marginalises populist groups and ensures the stability of a pro-EU and pro-NATO government in Riga. The victory guarantees the continuity of military support for Ukraine and the consolidation of security on the European Union's eastern flank.

  6. External relations

    UK: growing pressure to rejoin the EU

    A national petition to rejoin the EU has exceeded 100,000 signatures, demanding a debate in Parliament. It supports the 10-year plan by the European Movement think tank for accession by 2036. While 57% of Britons support rejoining to reverse the cost of Brexit (-4% to -8% of GDP), Prime Minister Andy Burnham advocates stronger cooperation with Brussels.

  7. Elections

    Presidential election in Bosnia and Herzegovina: record low turnout and status quo

    The elections on 4 October 2026 saw turnout drop to a record low of 42%. The collective presidency—the tripartite executive stemming from the 1995 Dayton Agreement—maintains its balance: Denis Bećirović (Bosniak) and Željka Cvijanović (Serb) were re-elected, while Darijana Filipović (HDZ) won the Croat seat. The dominance of the traditional ethnic trio (SDA, SNSD, HDZ) in Parliament signals difficult negotiations ahead.
