Polish Foreign Minister Vitold Vashchikovsky said he was amazed at the way of making a decision on the re-election of the chairman of the European Council.

On the contrary - according to Vashchikovsky, Tusk can "even more sharply attack the Polish government" in the European arena.

"We do not agree with this decision, but we do not have a legal opportunity to reject it," the foreign minister said..

The head of the party "Law and Justice" Jaroslaw Kaczynski criticized the fact that "a politician was elected who violated all the rules".

In addition, he expressed disappointment with the position of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who also supported the candidacy of Tusk.
