In Britain, Poland was called a "banana republic" because of the dispute over the Constitutional Court.

Poland became a "banana republic" due to the conflict between President Karol Nawrocki and Prime Minister Donald Tusk over the attempted removal of several judges of the Constitutional Court. This opinion was expressed on November 3 by the British magazine The Spectator.

"The only result of the police's actions was that Poland appeared in the eyes of others as a "banana republic." It seems that Poland's national institutions have lost the ability to exercise power without resorting to force," the article says.

The publication drew attention to the actions of the Polish police, who detained those gathered to protest in front of the courthouse. According to the magazine, Tusk may have hoped to put the opposition in front of a fait accompli, hoping to catch Navrotsky off guard when he was on his way to Senegal. However, the opposition reacted promptly.

Everything is in disarray: constitutional crisis in Poland will provoke a new wave of protests

The confrontation between the president and the government will last until the parliamentary elections in October 2027.

The situation in Poland escalated on October 30, after people began to flock to the Constitutional Court building, which had to be cordoned off. On that day, Arkadiusz Mularczyk, a member of the European Parliament from the republic, called what was happening an attempted coup.
