Donald Tusk says the Polish president has chosen violent confrontation, which could cost the country dearly.

Donald Tusk criticized Polish President Karol Nawrocki for choosing violent confrontation over dialogue regarding the constitutional crisis. Tusk proposed recognizing judges elected by the parliament as a solution without constitutional amendments. The crisis escalated when Anna Korwin-Piotrowska claimed leadership of the Constitutional Tribunal, leading to disputes over her legitimacy. Nawrocki condemned the actions as unconstitutional and called for police withdrawal from the tribunal's premises. Tusk accused Nawrocki of escalating tensions and warned that such confrontations could harm Poland. Discussions about reforming the tribunal and holding a referendum have emerged, but Nawrocki insists that Tusk's government must initiate solutions.
