"Poland's Political Turmoil: Ex-Ministers Jailed and President Denounces Arrest"

TL;DR Summary
Former Polish Interior Minister Mariusz Kaminski has begun a hunger strike after being arrested on abuse of power charges, declaring himself a "political prisoner" in a move that deepens the power struggle between the new Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Andrzej Duda, who is closely aligned with the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party. The arrests have sparked protests and promises of legal action from Duda, while Tusk aims to undo the policies of his predecessors and reposition Poland as a leader in the European Union.
