Tusk vows no compromise on rule of law after Poland Tribunal clash
Briefing by News4U · First published
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk delivered a televised address on Saturday evening after Friday night's confrontation at Poland's Constitutional Tribunal, where President Karol Nawrocki attempted to enter the building amid a deadlock over newly elected judges as police surrounded the site. Tusk called the events "scandalous incidents," said a democratic state must enforce justice, and declared that "in certain matters there can be no compromise." He said the Sejm elected judges who took oaths that Nawrocki did not formally receive, and that no politician, including the president, may enter a tribunal to intimidate judges. Euronews reported the speech offered no concrete deal to end the dispute. [1]
