Poland’s national opposition has inflated its struggle with the pro -European Union government led by Donald Tusk, as both sides accused each other of trying to distort the results of the upcoming presidential elections.
The senior politicians in the PIS Party (PIS) accused the government of planning to interfere in the race, as the PIS’s constitutional court launched an investigation into Tusk and its ministers due to an alleged coup plot.
Meanwhile, TUSK officials have warned that PIS judges can cancel the election result if their favorite candidate does not win the May.
The mayor of Warsaw and the presidential candidate of the Tusk Civil Platform Party, Rafa Tarskoski, is the candidate. But the recent opinion poll showed that the PIS Carole Noruki candidate could win a slight difference in the flow.
Foreign Minister Radosao Sikorsky warned last week against simulating Polish judges who rule the Roman Constitutional Court. In December, the court in Bucharest canceled presidential elections due to the alleged Russian intervention in favor of a right -wing candidate that issued the first round of voting unexpectedly.
“We have more Romanian problem than some people think,” Sikorsky said to the broadcaster Polias.
The President of the Constitutional Court in Poland, Bougdan świcokkkowski, announced earlier this month an investigation into Tusk and his partners allegedly preparing the coup and management of the “Organized Crime Group”. The supreme judge, who was senior to the public prosecutor when PIS was in power, did not provide any evidence of his allegations.
Task said that the investigation was “ugly” and “dangerous”. The Minister of Justice, the Public Prosecutor appointed by świcokkowski, commented to investigate the alleged plot.
Polish President Andrig Doda, a PIS candidate who appointed świcoczkowski in December, said the voters may need to move to the streets to demonstrate against the “treatment” election results.
“Is it possible to win the elections today in individual countries – apparently democracy – except by those who accept in Brussels? Doda told the media online Kanał Zero:” I have this impression and I don’t like it so much. ”
PIS was recently encouraged by the Trump administration, after US Vice President JD Vance Europe claimed that this claims that he claims the votes of the right and go “away” as the cancellation of the elections.
“You do not have common values if you cancel the elections because you do not like the result, and this happened in Romania. Vans said on Thursday:
Poland’s presidential elections in May is a key to TUSK to cancel the insurance of his alliance’s reform agenda, including the reform of the jurisdiction that he promised in order for Brussels to cancel the European Union funds in the country. But since he took office in 2023, his efforts were stopped by PIS with the help of Duda and the judges appointed by PIS.
PIS also accused the Tusk government of illegally financing the Scooper Noruki campaign. The Polish Electoral Commission – which has a narrow majority of members with the Tusk alliance – has blocked the PIS case after finding violations in spending the previous campaign.
In the previous vote, the Tusk government warns that Poland is the European country most targeted through Russian misinformation and electronic attacks.
The real issue is that the law is being replaced politically, according to Durotta Punitek, assistant professor at Adam Mikivich University in Boznan. She said, “We are currently in a state of complete chaos, which do not preach well,” she said.
