Dispute over the Constitutional Tribunal. Nawrocki's advisor comments on Tusk's address
Błażej Poboży, advisor to President Nawrocki, criticized Prime Minister Donald Tusk's recent address, labeling it as absurd and nonsensical. He accused Tusk of orchestrating the takeover of the Constitutional Tribunal, referring to him as a "usurper". Poboży expressed concerns over the independence of the judiciary and condemned the recent crisis at the Tribunal, which followed the suspension of its president and vice-president. Tensions escalated outside the Tribunal as police were deployed amid protests. President Nawrocki interrupted his trip to Senegal to address the situation, calling for urgent consultations due to constitutional violations, while Tusk emphasized the need to restore the rule of law.
