Censorship and coup accusations. Crisis escalates in Poland between Tusk and Nawrocki
The political crisis in Poland escalates as opposition leader Mateusz Morawiecki announces plans for a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Donald Tusk. This move is linked to ongoing tensions over the Constitutional Tribunal, where Tusk's government seeks to appoint new judges. The situation intensified when a judge suspended the tribunal's president, leading to police intervention. Tusk condemned the events as scandalous and emphasized the need for an independent judiciary. The conflict has roots dating back to 2015, involving changes to judicial appointments and accusations of undermining judicial independence. The European Commission is closely monitoring the situation.
