Weird how if they are “just implementing a decision of the Supreme Court” it occurs months/years after-the-fact when the new EU/globalist Tusk takes over
hmmmmm

From what I can glean, the defendants were convicted of abuse of power in 2015 (thus, their case went through the Polish legal system). They subsequently appealed. Their own political party — and its candidate — came to power and that candidate became president, and pardoned the defendants. A challenge to that pardon was raised and the matter ended up at the Polish Supreme Court, which annulled the pardon and reinstated the case (pending the outcome of the appeal). A “Constitutional Tribunal” dominated by the defendants’ political party claimed the pardon was legal, and should not have been annulled. However, it seems the Polish Supreme Court trumps that tribunal, and the defendants were ultimately convicted last month and sentenced to jail time. They sought sanctuary within the Polish presidential palace.
Here are some articles I found on this matter:

I know you’re being sarcastic, PGR, but as a person who voted Konfederacji (considered “right-wing”, but I’d say more right-ish and definitely patriotic) , I’m just watching this with glee.
Why glee?
Because for 8 years PO (the current party of Tusk) were complaining about “democracy under threat” and having demonstrations about the same. But now we see a definite case of democracy being threatened - Tusk’s hubris in this + the public television debacle have given me lots of ammunition to debate with leftist friends!
