"Poland's Political Turmoil: Clashes, Chaos, and Democratic Resistance"

Poland's political conflict intensifies as PM Donald Tusk and President Andrzej Duda show no signs of backing down. The dispute stems from Tusk's administration's actions to purge previous government associates, control public media, and reverse justice system changes. Tensions have escalated over the dismissal of the head of the National Public Prosecutor’s Office and the imprisonment of two politicians, leading to a standoff between the two leaders. Duda calls for de-escalation, while Tusk insists on upholding the law and constitution. The conflict highlights the power struggle between the ruling party and those seeking to restore Poland as a European liberal democracy.
