Call for Vigilance

Despite the lack of evidence pointing to foreign involvement, Tusk urged the public to remain vigilant. He revealed that in recent weeks, Polish services, in collaboration with allies, have thwarted potential acts of sabotage and arson. Tusk also suggested that Russia could be planning to interfere in the upcoming European parliamentary elections on an unprecedented scale.

President's Chief Security Aide Finds Fires Suspicious

Jacek Siewiera, President Andrzej Duda’s chief security aide, expressed his suspicion about the recent fires. He noted that similar incidents were happening not only in Poland but also in Finland, where security services have detected calls for arson on social media. Siewiera described these incidents as "psychological warfare," where it's unclear whether the fires occurred naturally or were instigated by foreign intelligence services. He also acknowledged that counter-intelligence services have warned of likely provocations, potentially leading to fires and terrorist attacks.

Conclusion

While the series of fires across Poland has raised concerns of potential foreign interference, concrete evidence is yet to be found.
