Polish President Karol Nawrocki forced his way into the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw shortly after midnight this morning, in the latest escalation of the rule-of-law tussle between the PiS-allied president and Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

they have a long running feud, at leas the leaders of each do. over the last two tenures the previous govt kept harassing and propagandizing the public tv to insane levels (not that it's not happening now, but it was really heavy-handed crude propaganda back then) so, some people siding with the previous government - which is now the opposition…

So how do you do it? They tried changing how the judges are elected. That got sent...to the tribunal. And died there.

Bae this morning says everyone on Facebook is yelling about there was a coup in Poland. Well, it's not a coup, and the protesters are the bad guys. This is an attempt at lustration. https:// apnews.com/article/poland-euro pean-union-justice-protests-police-tribunal-67eda2e3a151e00038d85a5e894a2a72

No, not really, the right wing politician (the president) is actually pulling the soft coup. He is refusing to do his duties (acklowledging the swearing of new judges).

If you disobey the law you get the police at your door, but if the constitutional court president disobey the law he shouldn't get the police at his door ? Weird fetish man.

Yes, I agree that PiS went nuclear there afterwards and it’s not the same. Picking the extra judges was still a bad move and part of the problem we have now

or you know, Tusk could have won the presidency and done everything he wanted? But he lost it and now he has to 'bend democracy' to get what he wants?
