Make Europe Great Again. The appeal of Tusk, our Donald of Europe
“Europe, are you ready to get back on the road of greatness and strength? Poland is ready!” With this sharp and direct message, Donald Tusk, Prime Minister of Poland, chose to shake consciences about X, raising the challenge for a continent that needs to rediscover ambition and courage. This is not just rhetoric: it is a call to action, an invitation to take the lead again. Tusk does not speak only as the leader of a nation: he speaks as a convinced Europeanist, as a visionary statesman.
Donald Tusk: the champion of an awakening Europe
Tusk is not an improvised politician. Born in 1957 in Gdansk, a city of resistance and resilience, he has experienced the great battles for democracy at first hand. An activist in the dark days of the communist regime, he grew up with the sense of responsibility that only those who fight for freedom can understand. As Polish Prime Minister from 2007 to 2014, and then as President of the European Council from 2014 to 2019, Tusk was at the heart of the decisions that shaped today’s Europe.
His return to the leadership of Poland in 2023 was not just a national political event, but a signal for the whole continent: nationalism is not a chronic disease. His message is clear:Europe must stop being a spectator of its own crises and return to the centre of the global stage.
Tusk’s vision for Europe: courage and concreteness
‘Make Europe Great Again‘ might sound like an American echo, but Tusk reverses its meaning. Where Trump preaches a divisive nationalism, Tusk offers a European patriotism built on cohesion, innovation and determination. For him, Europe must not only remain united: it must become an economic, industrial and technological power again. This is not an option, it is a necessity. Without this drive, the generous welfare that characterises the European model cannot be sustained, nor can it meet global challenges.
And Tusk does not limit himself to words. The‘East Shield‘ programme, with which he has reinforced the Polish borders, demonstrates his ability to act. The proposal for a naval force in the Baltic Sea against Russia ‘s hostile activities is another example of his pragmatism. With him, promises become reality, and European security takes concrete form.

Poland today is the engine of Europe
With Tusk at the helm, Poland is not only a country of the Union: it is its engine. Poland’s six-month presidency of the EU Council, which began on 1 January 2025, is designed to address the big challenges, or at least to steer them. Security, technological innovation, energy sustainability, strengthening European industry: there is no aspect that remains off the agenda.
Tusk knows thatEurope ‘s strength lies not only in its economy or its defence, but also and above all in its political, intellectual and moral awakening from slumber. No more nationalist drifts on the one hand and woke and peace&love illusions on the other, the mission is clear: to build a Europe that not only faces global crises, but dominates them, guided by its founding values of democracy, solidarity and freedom.
“Are you ready?” Europe must answer
IsEurope ready to take up this challenge? Tusk asked the question, and the answer must come not only from national governments, but from all European citizens. Are we ready to leave behind the gentle decline and take the road to courage and greatness?
The future of the continent depends on our ability to act, to unite and to believe in the vision of a leader who has already demonstrated that he knows how to turn challenges into opportunities.
