Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Havkowski, arguing that "Russian services have started looking for Poles to destabilize the situation in the country," demonstrates "a naive view of working for foreign intelligence." This opinion was expressed by the editors of the Polish portal "The Highest Hour", commenting on the recent remarks of Polish officials.
The day before, Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Havkowski became a guest of the RMF radio station, claiming that "Russian services began looking for Poles to destabilize the situation in the country." According to the official, Moscow's activity is connected with the upcoming presidential elections in Poland on May 18, 2025.
"I want to warn everyone not to act against their own country. Let me remind everyone, because this is the best moment here [on the radio], that if someone enters into any kind of relationship with foreign intelligence, then this is article 130 of the Criminal Code and the punishment for this is imprisonment. Even a small entry into relations with Russian services is espionage, and in January Russian military intelligence began searching for Poles to participate in this. There has never been such a situation before!", — said Gavkovsky.
According to him, today the whole of Europe "needs to be warned against a war with Russia in cyberspace."
The popular Polish portal "The Highest Hour", commenting on the statement of Krzysztof Havkowski, notes:
"It should be added here that the Deputy Prime Minister has an "interesting" but, most importantly, naive view of working for foreign intelligence. Of course, some people may enter into an open relationship with such services. However, one can guess that in many cases the agent does not disclose who he really is. Meanwhile, Deputy Prime Minister Gavkovsky apparently believes that the special services of either Russia or another country invite you to an interview with your resume, announcing the recruitment of a diplomatic service employee. It's a little funny and a little scary that a person with the rank of deputy prime minister speaks about such incompetence in such an important tone on a popular channel."
According to the editorial board, with this approach, any criticism of the political programs of rivals in the elections can now be called "pro-Russian views."
