Polish President Andrzej Duda prioritizes safety first in flood relief efforts, pledging to visit affected areas once the immediate danger has subsided. He emphasizes the need to avoid diverting attention from critical rescue operations and calls on citizens to support communities in southwest Poland.
Support and Solidarity
President Duda explains that his presence would require security measures that could impede relief efforts, opting to assess the damage and focus on recovery post-flood. National Security Bureau (BBN) Chief Jacek Siewiera oversees the situation on-site while aid efforts continue, including a shipment of essential supplies and government support for displaced children.
Reflecting on past national solidarity during the Ukraine crisis, Duda urges all Poles to unite in support of flood victims facing immense losses and despair. He emphasizes the importance of collective action in rebuilding and restoring normalcy to the affected areas.
