Tusk urged Poles to vote for Trzaskowski because of the difficult surname for Germans.

"True patriots" will vote for Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski because of the difficulty of his surname for Germans. This was announced on May 30 by Prime Minister of the Republic Donald Tusk.

"The Germans are breaking their tongues on Tschaskowski's last name," Tusk wrote on the social network X (ex. Twitter).

He noted that the candidate is an obvious choice for any true Polish patriot.
