BREAKING: FMR POLISH PM WARNS OF CIVIL WAR Poland’s pro-EU government attempted a JUDICIAL COUP yesterday on the Constitutional Tribunal, while the president was 35,000 ft in the air over Spain. I sat down with former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, a fierce opponent of Tusk who spent hours at the Tribunal speaking out against this unprecedented assault on Polish democracy.
“We sit on a barrel of powder. It can escalate very, very strongly over the next days and weeks…” Tusk waited until President Nawrocki left for Senegal, then went in. The play: pack the Tribunal with loyalist judges, bypass the presidential veto, and rewrite Poland’s legal system without a constitutional majority.
Morawiecki calls it a brazen power grab, one with no parallel in post-1989 European history. Patriots have been holding the line outside the Tribunal ever since, with a massive police presence still there.
But this is also much bigger than Poland… Romania annulled a presidential election and jailed its winner. Hungary retroactively rewrote its constitution to block Orban. France upheld Marine Le Pen’s conviction and put her in an ankle tag. Germany labeled its biggest opposition party an “extremist organization.”
The pattern, Morawiecki says, is the same everywhere: when the left faces losing power, the institutions move. “Wherever the leftists are endangered, they attack.”
Four major elections are coming next year across Europe: France, Italy, Spain, Poland. If the right wins those elections, the Commission loses control. That, he says, is exactly what they’re trying to prevent. And so Poland becomes the latest flashpoint in an anti-democratic fire burning across the continent. I hope, I truly do, that this does NOT descend into a civil war, as the former prime minister fears…
