Tusk Shifts Poland to Economic Nationalism

Poland 15 April 2025 22:35

At the European Forum for New Ideas in Warsaw, Donald Tusk unveiled a major policy shift for Poland’s government, emphasizing a move toward "modern economic nationalism." Tusk stressed that Polish businesses and entrepreneurs would no longer tolerate foreign interference, pledging a stronger government role in safeguarding national interests. This marks a significant change for Poland's centrist government, which previously avoided nationalist economic policies. Tusk framed this shift as a necessary response to global protectionism and predicted 2025 would be a key year for the investment and development of Polish firms. He also called for the "re-Polonisation" of the economy, asserting that Poland must adopt a more assertive stance in the competitive global market, CE Report quotes PAP
