Duda Downplays Need for Sole European Leader

Germany’s Leadership Role

Border Security and Migration
On the issue of migrants, Duda addressed concerns about potential border controls and the handling of asylum seekers. “When we talk about refugees who came to Poland before, I have no fears,” he said.
Border Checks
Addressing the possibility of increased border checks, Duda suggested a pragmatic approach. ”Maybe more cars will be checked at the border, or maybe it will be learned that this can be problematic, but that is not a big problem. It’s more of a symbol.”
migrant Destination: Germany
German Police Assistance
Duda expressed openness to assistance from german law enforcement at Poland’s borders with Belarus and Russia. ”Why not? If German police officers, German officials coudl come to Poland and thus support the border, then I would not mind.”
Migrant Motivations
Duda highlighted Germany’s perceived attractiveness to migrants. “Most people want to go to Germany. That is their goal. First, they have the myth that Germany wants to take them in. They believe that Germany is rich and the money is on the street. That’s why they want to see their families in Germany.”
Merkel’s Legacy
Duda referenced the policies of former Chancellor Angela Merkel, stating, “It was Mrs.chancellor Angela Merkel who opened the borders in the past and said that she would take in all refugees – or even migrants. It was about migrants, not refugees.”
Taurus Missiles to Ukraine
Weapons Deliveries
Regarding the delivery of Taurus missiles to Ukraine, Duda affirmed their importance. “Yes, the Taurus are important, as is other modern equipment, and Germany has this modern equipment available.”
Putin’s Willingness for Peace
Duda expressed skepticism about Russian President Vladimir putin’s genuine interest in peace. “I don’t know if Vladimir Putin is ready. Maybe he would be ready if the whole of Ukraine were in his hands. Then he would say that this is the right time to end this war.”
Return to Cold War Era
US Sanctions Against Russia
Duda believes the United States possesses the means to exert pressure on Russia. “I am convinced that the President of the United States has the means in his hands with which he can force Russia. Maybe some of these means are very radical, very harsh, especially various economic instruments. But I believe that President Donald Trump is able to realize this.”
NATO Defense Spending
Duda advocated for increased defense spending among NATO members. “In my opinion, it should be a minimum level of three percent of GDP. It was like that in the times of the Cold War, and we see that the times of the Cold War are back.”
