Foreign Minister Delivers Policy Speech, Parties Compile Candidate Lists For EU Election

POLAND
Political Risk BulletEM BulletHomepageBulletPolitical RiskEmerging Market News
  • Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski will deliver his annual policy speech (exposé) in parliament from 08:00BST/09:00CEST. He is expected to challenge the previous administration's confrontational rhetoric towards the EU and rebut the key "myths" underlying its foreign policy. Sikorski will stress the need to invest in "two insurance policies" by cultivating strong diplomatic relations with the US and EU simultaneously. PAP news wire reported that a substantial part of his speech will be devoted to Russia, the "nature of putinism," and Moscow's attempts to drive a wedge between Poland and Ukraine.
  • State Assets Minister Borys Budka suggested that he will run in the upcoming European election and will likely resign from his current position when the election campaign formally starts, probably in early May. This points to the possible timing of the imminent Cabinet reshuffle, with several other ministers expected to be named candidates. By contrast, Sejm Speaker and Poland 2050 leader Szymon Holownia said that both ministers nominated by his party will serve out full four-year terms, while the Third Way (an alliance of Poland 2050 and centre-right PSL) will unveil their candidate lists tomorrow.
  • Ukraine halted consular services for men aged 18-60 who are currently abroad as it seeks to boost recruitment to the army, whose manpower is gradually depleted by the ongoing Russian attacks. Media reports suggested that Ukrainian consulates abroad stopped accepting applications for passports from men between 18-60 years of age even before the relevant law took effect due to "technical issues." Polish Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said that Warsaw will coordinate with Kyiv to provide all necessary assistance.
