Following the recent success of the AfD party, concerns are rising in Poland regarding potential shifts in European politics. Dariusz Joński, a Member of the European Parliament from Civic Coalition (KO), stated in an interview with Interia that some AfD members view Poland as a greater threat than Russia, with some even questioning Poland’s borders. Given Poland’s geographical position between Germany and Russia, Joński emphasizes the crucial importance of the governing power in Berlin. This sentiment underscores Poland’s vulnerability and the need to closely monitor the implications of the AfD’s growing influence in Germany. The AfD’s victory is being described as a "cold shower" for Poland, prompting heightened attention to its security and diplomatic strategies. The comments highlight anxieties over potential future challenges to Poland's sovereignty and regional stability.
