"Poland has not perished and will not perish," declares Donald Tusk as the country is plunged into a serious political crisis related to the Constitutional Tribunal.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk addressed the ongoing political crisis, emphasizing the defense of democratic institutions. He criticized the previous government's influence on the Constitutional Tribunal, which has faced scrutiny from the EU. Tusk's government has struggled to confirm new judges, leading to tensions with President Karol Nawrocki. The suspension of controversial Tribunal President Swieczkowski was announced by a judge appointed by Tusk, highlighting the need to restore the rule of law. Tusk condemned attacks on the Tribunal, linking them to a broader agenda to undermine democracy in Poland, while asserting the Tribunal's future independence.
