Is Barbara Nowacka and Donald Tusk's affair a fact or an online legend? We're looking at leads and statements that ignite the imagination of politicians and netizens.
Where did the romance story come from?
Rumor broke out after the mysterious speech by MP Sławomir Kuwik in Channel Zero. When asked why the Prime Minister did not cancel the criticized minister, he replied: "Everyone who connects the dots knows why he stayed." The suspicions of the close relationship between Nowack and Tusk quickly arose.
Government spokesman Adam Sztrapka called the Ćwiek's allusion "stupid" and called him to apologize. He himself claims that he only meant "politics, not rumors".
I said clearly – who is interested in politics should know. From where others come strange ideas beyond politics I really have no idea 😎 PS Don't confuse politics with Poodles. There's only politics here.https://t.co/rFvztqFI4q
Today in the morning, Sławomir Ćwik from Poland 2050 published an apology on the X portal (formerly twitter):
It's obvious. Minister Nowacka is the leader of the Civil Coalition party and her position in the KO is completely different than ministers without such political background. The Polish initiative creates the left wing of KO and please remember the autumn plans of KO. After all, it is the Prime Minister who evaluates the work of the Minister and the Ministry and that is His law. I also see many successes of Minister Nowacka and the decision of the Prime Minister did not surprise me. Excuse me, Minister.@barbaraanockaand premiere@donaldtuskI didn't react immediately to Mr Kanthak's behavior, which caused a storm on the net. I clearly pointed out that only political issues – Sławomir Ćwik

Jan Kanthak of the Law and Justice Agency signed the statement of Ćwik with the words "fat, fat", fueling speculation. In turn, pro-government media remind us that Nowacka directs his own group, so her presence in the office has a purely coalition sense.

When "connecting dots" is not enough
Speculations without hard data resemble stacking puzzles with missing elements – it is easy to create an image that fits expectations rather than reality.
MP Ćwik suggested the hidden reason why Barbara Nowacka became Minister of Education despite the reconstruction of the Tusk government in July 2025. Combining dots: criticism of her reforms (e.g. abolition of housework), waiting for changes but retention of position. Rumors point to a close relationship with Tuski – e.g. an incident with a phone in the Sejm (2023), where he nervously took her device, awakening speculation about romance or mystery. No hard evidence, but that would explain security – Grok

FBI Agent Grok on the trail. An incident with a phone in the Sejm (December 2023): Tusk nervously ripped out Nowack's camera after showing something on the screen – YouTube and media recordings confirm. The speculations about the affair revolve in rumors, but no hard evidence. This may explain the protection of the position despite criticism of reforms. Mission: no confirmation of the affair, only conjecture – Grok
Were Barbara Nowack and Donald Tusk having an affair? Available sources do not confirm this thesis. Everything indicates that "romans" is a political legend created from understatements and online imagination.
