Marcin Kierwiński, the interior minister, convened an emergency session at the Internal Security Agency’s Counter‑Terrorism Centre at 11 a.m. on Sunday after intercepting an email that raised the possibility of an attack on Prime Minister Donald Tusk and Defence Minister Władysław Kosiniak‑Kamysz.
Police received the message via X, but no details on the threat’s origin or motive were released. Authorities are coordinating with the Special Services to map potential risks.
The meeting comes amid a wave of violent incidents at schools in the Mazovian province that left one person dead and several injured. Police have detained 117 suspects carrying knives or weapons across the country, and a 19‑year‑old vocational‑school student was arrested after wounding nine people with a knife.
Tusk said the attacks were "spontaneous acts" fueled by an online glorification of violence, noting a rise in far‑right activity and searches for Nazi‑related content. He added that some detained individuals were linked to extremist circles.
Earlier this year, a 23‑year‑old man was arrested for calling for the assassination of senior Polish politicians, and in September Tusk warned that Russia could intensify hybrid attacks on NATO’s eastern flank.
The cabinet will convene on Monday to decide on protective measures for Tusk and Kosiniak‑Kamysz, and police will continue school checks into next week while urging parents to discuss online safety with their children.
