𝗣𝗶𝗼𝘁𝗿 𝗪𝗶𝗲𝗰𝘇𝗼𝗿𝗲𝗸 🇵🇱

CPAC stands with President Karol Nawrocki and the people of Poland. Today, while the President was out of the country, Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government moved against Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal, sending police onto its grounds and declaring its president and vice president suspended. No government has the right to use force to paralyze a coequal, constitutional body of the state. These are the tactics of a prime minister who cannot win the argument and has decided to stop having it. The Polish people spoke clearly when they elected President Nawrocki. His office, his mandate, and the constitutional order he swore to defend are not Mr. Tusk’s to override by decree. A head of government does not get to decide unilaterally which courts are legitimate, which judges may enter their own building, or which election results he will honor. We condemn these actions in the strongest terms. We call on Prime Minister Tusk to withdraw the police, restore the Tribunal’s leadership, and settle his disputes through the constitution, not around it. The will of Polish voters must be respected, and the independence of Poland’s institutions must be preserved. CPAC is proud of the role we played in giving the new president a platform before his election and we are ready to lend our voice to upholding democratic values. If the Goverment was acting in good faith it would not have waited until President Nawrocki had left Polish airspace. Law abiding freedom lovers are reeling from the usurpation of election norms in Brazil and now Poland is undergoing an unnecessary crisis of a similar nature. We pray that the situation is quickly resolved. President Nawrocki turned his plane around to stand with his country. We stand with him.
