Thousands of Poles, including Tusk, hold pro-EU rally before vote 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseEuropean Council chief Donald Tusk on Saturday joined thousands at a pro-Europe opposition rally in Warsaw, calling on his fellow Poles to vote against the eurosceptic governing conservatives in this month’s EU elections. “Our children and grandchildren would never forgive us… Go forth towards victory,” he added to cheers and applause at the rally organized by the opposition European Coalition. A former Polish premier, Tusk is widely believed to be eyeing a political comeback at home once his EU term ends in November. Without referring to him by name, Tusk compared his arch-rival and PiS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski to an ayatollah during the rally attended by Poles from across the country.
