Polish Prime Minister Calls Urgent Meeting After Fire Hoax at President's Home
Prime Minister Donald Tusk called an urgent government meeting on Sunday following a false emergency report of a fire at President Karol Nawrocki’s family home in Gdańsk. Emergency services forced entry into the residence while the occupants were away, only to discover the alarm was a hoax. Tusk has since called for the swift apprehension of those responsible for the fraudulent report. The incident occurs amid broader security concerns, with Polish officials warning of Russian hybrid warfare and the use of disposable agents to sow fear. However, some reports suggest a different angle, claiming that authorities may be using anonymous emergency messages as a pretext to conduct raids on independent media journalists.
