France, Germany to Build Arms Plant in Ukraine as Stakes Rise

The leaders of Germany, France, and Poland met to discuss further aid and present a united European front. Macron has taken a strong stance on the threat posed by Russia, while Scholz has faced criticism for not providing long-range missiles to Ukraine. The meeting aimed to mend relations and coordinate support ahead of significant upcoming events, including the European Parliament elections and the appointment of a new NATO leader.

Tusk Says He’ll Overhaul Cabinet Next Month Ahead of EU Election
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk plans a cabinet overhaul on May 10 to strengthen his party's position ahead of the European Parliament elections. The reshuffle follows the announcement of Borys Budka's candidacy for the EU elections and the resignation of Culture Minister Bartlomiej Sienkiewicz. Tusk, currently recovering from pneumonia, intends to attend a conference in Brussels with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. The government is also preparing an aid plan for Polish farmers.
France and Germany Will Begin Weapons Production in Ukraine
Germany and France have announced plans to start producing weapons in Ukraine, aiming to strengthen support for Kyiv amidst its conflict with Russian forces. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron, despite not detailing the production plants, are moving past differences to present a united European front. Macron has taken a strong stance, warning of the security risks to Europe if Russia is not defeated in Ukraine. Rheinmetall AG will open a plant in Ukraine for artillery ammunition, and French defense minister Sebastien Lecornu mentioned KNDS among companies setting up partnerships. The Weimar Triangle meeting, including Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, emphasized the need for immediate and intense aid for Ukraine. Scholz has been criticized for not providing long-range missiles requested by Kyiv but has highlighted Germany's significant military assistance. The meeting in Berlin is seen as a chance for Scholz and Macron to align before key European events.
Polish Ex-Ruling Party Officials Arrested Amid Constitutional Crisis
Polish police have arrested two former officials of the ruling party, Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Wasik, at the presidential palace amid a constitutional crisis. This follows the victory of the pro-European Union alliance led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk in recent parliamentary elections. Tusk is attempting to reverse democratic backsliding, which has resulted in the EU withholding nearly €60 billion in aid. The arrests may intensify conflict with President Andrzej Duda, who is aligned with the former populist administration and has veto power over legislation. The controversy also involves the Law & Justice party, which has been accused of stacking state institutions with loyalists and using state television for propaganda. The government's efforts to mend ties with the EU and address rule-of-law issues are ongoing, with Duda's legal changes being a key point of contention.
Polish State TV Goes Dark as Nationalists Decry Tusk Shakeup
Poland's President Andrzej Duda has criticized the new government's overhaul of public broadcasters, labeling it as 'anarchy' and questioning its legality. The shakeup, which resulted in some channels going off air, was initiated by Prime Minister Donald Tusk's administration, aiming to reform state television that was previously seen as biased towards the Law & Justice party. Culture Minister Bartłomiej Sienkiewicz dismissed several executives at public media outlets, a move that President Duda, an ally of the former government, denounced as illegal. The state TVPInfo channel ceased broadcasting news and its website went offline. The new government's reforms are seen as crucial for Poland to access nearly €60 billion in EU aid. Parliament Speaker Szymon Holownia has expressed intentions to work on legislation to address the public media chaos.

Poland’s Political Drama Echoes Trump Election Loss Aftermath
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk faces significant challenges in restoring democracy and rule of law after taking over from the nationalist government. His victory promised to mend relations with the EU and access €60 billion of funds by aligning with EU standards. However, the Law & Justice Party, led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski, is not conceding power easily, leading to political unrest and a constitutional crisis. Tusk aims to rebuild institutions and unite the country, but faces opposition from President Andrzej Duda and Law & Justice supporters. The situation is compared to the post-election period in the US with Trump. Despite political turmoil, Polish markets have remained stable, but the conflict with Duda suggests difficulties in accessing EU recovery funds. The European Commission has expressed concerns over the independence of the Polish judiciary.
