The US Ambassador expressed concern about the situation with protests in Poland
U.S. Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose said that Washington is concerned about the situation around the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw and its possible impact on the stability and security of the country. The diplomat wrote about this on October 30 in the social network X.
"America is on Poland's side. It is not for us to judge or interfere in her internal affairs. Our concern concerns the stability, security, and democratic future of a country that we are proud to call our friend and ally," Rose said.
The diplomat called the events "extremely serious" and described it as "an unprecedented confrontation over the use of state power by the government, as well as the independence and authority of the constitutional institution." According to him, the presence of thousands of protesters outside the tribunal building makes the situation even more tense.
Rose called on government officials, law enforcement agencies, and protesters to show restraint and prevent violence.
On October 30, Arkadiusz Mularczyk, a Polish member of the European Parliament, said that a coup d'etat was taking place in the country. According to the politician, the forces acting on behalf of the current government illegally entered the courthouse and do not allow legally appointed judges to work.
The Wirtualna Polska portal reported that Polish President Karol Nawrocki called an urgent meeting with the chairman of the Constitutional Tribunal and other judges amid riots outside the court building. Currently, the plane of the politician who interrupted the flight to Senegal on a state visit landed in Warsaw.
Former Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki has admitted the risk of the country's disintegration. The politician stated that two parallel states are actually being formed in Poland, which do not recognize each other, and expressed serious concern about this development.
