'I have decided not to sign the law that would allow Poland to take out the so-called SAFE loan. I will never sign a law that undermines our sovereignty, our independence, as well as our economic and military security,' President Karol Nawrocki said in a televised address on Thursday.

    People seem to be confused. This is not Poland blocking EU defense funding. This is Polish president blocking access to EU money for Poland. It’s a internal thing affecting only Poland. There’s more money in the defense fund and other countries will access it without issues. The 40B was assigned to Poland which was supposed to be the biggest recipient but because of this veto they will most probably receive less. And it’s not a gift. EU is borrowing money and lending it to individual countries on preferential terms.
