Court dispute in Poland: Tusk: The rule of law does not mean jungle law
After Polish President Nawrocki's controversial appearance at the Constitutional Court, Prime Minister Tusk is escalating tensions. His party is staying away from talks at the Presidential Palace.
Poland's government and President Karol Nawrocki have escalated their dispute over the Constitutional Court. Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized Nawrocki's visit to the court, where he pushed past protesters and a judge, saying that in a rule-of-law state, politicians should not intimidate judges. The court has been at the center of a power struggle between Tusk's pro-European government and the right-wing opposition, led by the Law and Justice party (PiS).
Nawrocki met with representatives of several parliamentary groups, but no agreement was reached. The European Commission is monitoring the situation closely.
