Poland’s EU-Friendly PM Tusk Seizes Control of the High Court

Poland’s War

Poland is in crisis as tensions between Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki escalated overnight, with Tusk taking over the High Court while Nawrocki was on his way to Senegal.

Politico reports:

Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, a judge with the court, ordered its president Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy to be suspended for a month and announced she was taking charge. Święczkowski rejected her authority, accusing those involved of a “coup d’état,” while his deputy was turned away at the building’s gates.

The showdown marks an escalation in Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s struggle to undo the judicial overhaul carried out by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) former government. During its eight years in power, PiS filled the Constitutional Tribunal with its appointees, including Święczkowski and his deputy, placing it at the heart of Poland’s confrontation with Brussels over the rule of law.

The opposition interpreted a serious threat to Prime Minister Tusk’s life as a coup.  Tusk’s administration insists it was an assassination attempt, not a coup. The opposition sees the EU-friendly Tusk as turning Poland over to the EU.

The Constitutional Tribunal is central to the government’s power. It determines whether laws and other legal acts comply with Poland’s Constitution. Its decisions can affect legislation, government actions and the country’s entire legal system. Control over its leadership therefore has major constitutional and political significance.

Tusk is taking over the nation’s highest court, and it is not going over well.

This takeover happened while conservative President Nawrocki was halfway to Senegal. He turned around. It’s unclear what is happening right now.

🚨🇵🇱COUP UNDERWAY IN POLAND!

PM Donald Tusk has just sent police to storm Constitutional Tribunal building in Warsaw in the middle of the night. Police rushed the grounds of Poland’s top constitutional court, and its conservative chief is suddenly “declared Suspended.”

Tusk allegedly waited until President Karol Nawrocki left the country before ordering the police takeover.

Nawrocki was halfway to Senegal when he abruptly turned his plane around and rushed back to Poland to confront the unfolding crisis.

The EU, which backs Donald Tusk, has STILL NOT issued a statement on this unprecedented crisis or condemned the attempted coup. https://t.co/c57467fKcJ

This Might Be a coup in Poland.

Conservatives see it as a globalist coup.

It sounds like the DSA plan for the United States; only in their case, they want governors to seize control after they stack the Supreme Court.
