It took longer than expected, but now even the Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk understood that a nuclear power plant cannot be built without a significant (among others) financial help from the state’s budget. So much about the “competitiveness” of the nuclear energy mentioned in the Nuclear Energy Program from 2010. After the declarations of Mr. Tusk concerning renewable sources of energy that he wouldn’t adopt a policy “only to satisfy a small group of investors” (see previous entry), shortly after the meeting with his long-time friend and (of course coincidentally) Chairman of the Polish Energy Group responsible for the realization of the Polish nuclear program, he declared that the support of the state, only on a larger scale and “also as far as the search for the sources of financing is concerned will be an obvious part of the project”.
Change of scenery: Brussels mid-2014. Leaders of the member countries have to decide who will take the most important posts in the EU: that of the President of the European Commission and the President of the European Council. According to Hugo Brady Donald Tusk would be high on the list of the potential candidates. Poland as the “France of the East” would in this way be granted one of the two most important posts in the EU.
