Topics of the National Security Council
The head of the National Security Bureau, Bartosz Grodecki, had previously said that the meeting would concern current national security issues and the construction of a permanent U.S. military base in Poland. At the same time, the president’s spokesperson said that the Council could not overlook the events of the night from Friday to Saturday and limit itself solely to the topic of the permanent presence of U.S. troops.
The invitation of representatives of the Confederation of the Polish Crown sparked controversy. Sejm Speaker Włodzimierz Czarzasty and Minister of the Interior and Administration Marcin Kierwiński called for this political force not to be invited to the meeting. Representatives of the presidential chancellery responded that deputies of the Confederation of the Polish Crown have access to classified information and take part in closed Sejm sessions.
