Poland is still reeling from the monster demonstrations for the release of the (already pardoned) political prisoners that were illegally arrested INSIDE THE PRESIDENTIAL PALACE, but the new Prime Minister Donald Tusk has already moved ahead relentlessly in his vendetta against prominent officials from the former government.
Worse, Tusk now makes it even clearer that he isn’t about to be constrained by judicial decisions that may be contrary to his liking.
Case in point: the Constitutional Tribunal (TK) has issued a ruling that prevents Tusk’s coalition from putting central bank governor Adam Glapiński on trial.
Notes from Poland reported:
“The TK, which is itself seen as being under the influence of PiS, deemed […] existing rules, which require only a simple majority in parliament to bring the central bank governor before the State Tribunal, the body tasked with trying the highest officials of state, to be unconstitutional.
The judges decided that a higher threshold was needed to safeguard the independence of the central bank and that this should be the same as the one required to bring government ministers before the State Tribunal: a super-majority of three fifths of MPs in the Sejm, the lower house of parliament.
That figure would almost certainly be beyond the current ruling coalition, which has 241 MPs in the 460-seat Sejm, well below the three-fifths threshold of 276. Even with the support of the far-right Confederation (Konfederacja), the government could only muster 259 votes.”

TUSK!..................
Should we start taking the odds on civil war in Poland by summer?
LOL...my first thought too.
The EU has been pushing American-style supreme courts on member states.
Should be interesting to see what happens when leftists don’t stand to benefit from their own scheming.
Where’s Marshall Piłsudski when you need him?
Adam Glapiński would be tried for cutting interest rates at 10.1% inflation instead of at below 10% inflation, supposedly in the interest of more conservative politicians running for reelection:

I have no clue what is going on over there, but 3/5 (60%) does make sense. If it’s a only a simple majority you’ll have 100% banana republic.
Tusk just arrested two conservative politician in Presidential palace. They were convicted by kangaroo court of some overstepping when they investigated Tusk’s corruption.
President Duda pardoned them, but Tusk ignored the pardon, invaded Presidential palace where they were staying, blocked president from helping them by placing some bus in front of his door and put them into jail!
There are right now massive protests in Poland.
The (just recently ruling party) has still president and the supreme court, and almost half of the parliament, but Tusk does not care about anything. He’s got his coalition with communists, which has small majority in parliament, and the support of the European Union (he used to be a president of EU) and that’s enough for massive persecution and violation of the law!
This is the place to watch right now.
The EU managed to throw out Poland’s conservatives 4 months ago and now they are following Biden-WEF leadings.
Lets see if Poland can take their country back.
The Panda smiles.
The UniParty phenomenon extends into Europe.The WEF intended to bind all the UniParties in the West into a single government-regardless of what it takes or the consequences
“I have no clue what is going on over there…”

EU FASCISM is taking over in Poland. Very sad indeed.
