A statement by former Polish Prime Minister and leader of the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, Jarosław Kaczyński, has sparked strong reactions in Poland. He warned that there could be bloodshed if Donald Tusk's government does not accept a possible defeat in the parliamentary elections in November 2027.

The statement was made on Tuesday, November 10, during an event on the eve of Poland's Independence Day. Kaczyński, 77, expressed confidence that his party would return to power, but hinted that the current government's failure to recognize the election result could lead to bloody clashes.

Asked by TVN24 about his words, he did not back down from his statement on Wednesday, but accused Tusk's government of serving foreign interests and being capable of using violence. According to him, the other side is capable of anything and could cause Polish blood to be shed.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk condemned the statement during his Independence Day speech in the city of Szczecin. He said that the authorities have a responsibility to ensure that Polish blood is never shed for political reasons.

The speaker of the parliament, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, also intervened in the debate, calling on politicians to show responsibility, especially after the serious event in Krakow.

"Especially after what happened in Krakow, politicians should bite their tongues and think before they speak," he declared.
