Following a new ruling by a pro-new government court, police entered Poland's presidential palace and arrested politicians from the right-wing government that recently usurped the throne.
Poland's former interior minister Mausz Kaminski and deputy minister Maciej Woncik were arrested by police on Tuesday, an apparent unfinished situation by the newly installed globalist centrist Donald Tusk government. This seems to be part of an effort to bring the situation under control. The two were taken away by officials of the presidential palace after President Andrej Duda himself left the building to attend a meeting.
Duda expressed anger at the “brutal” arrests of politicians at his official residence, saying: “I will not rest until Minister Mariusz Kaminski and his colleagues are released, until they are returned to being free people as they should be. No,” he said. The president said the arrest was illegal.
Recently ousted Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also spoke out against the arrest, praising his country's achievements in ending post-Cold War political persecution and saying that in the 35 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union, “no one in our country He was never persecuted for his sins.” Expressing political views, no political prisoners were detained. ” Now the situation has changed, he said, adding: “For the first time since the dark days of totalitarian rule, there are political prisoners in Poland. They are former interior minister Mariusz Kaminski and deputy minister Maciej Wonczyk.

“Both are members of the Polish parliament. Both fought against the communists. Both fought for justice in free Poland… Unfortunately, both were politically targeted by the Donald Tusk government. A victim of revenge.”
Morawiecki said the arrests were a “clear” violation of Poland's laws and constitution and an abuse of power by the new government. He said: “And this is happening in a major country in the European Union in the 21st century…This is a huge shame.”
Minister Mariusz Kaminski, an anti-communist activist during the Soviet era and a member of parliament since the 1990s, was dismissed from government service during the last government of President Donald Tusk over the Polish land scandal that brought down the previous government in 2010. and was charged with abuse of power. government. Although Kaminski and Wonsik denied the charges, they were ultimately convicted five years later, but the sentences were immediately reversed by President Andrzej Duda and they and two others were pardoned.
The legality of this pardon has gone back and forth between various courts with varying allegiances. Last week, a new court found them guilty again and warrants were issued for their arrest, but soon after another court ruled that it was illegal to strip MPs of their protection. The second ruling, and another ruling that the trial court did not have the power to overturn a presidential pardon anyway, appeared to be ignored.
Coincidentally, the arrest sentence was handed down in December 2023, on the same day that Polish police raided TVP's Warsaw television studios and the channel was taken off the air, but this was the first time that Tusk's new government It was one of the most noteworthy events.

Mr. Kaminski and Mr. Maciej Wonsik were arrested at the presidential palace. PIS ally Andrei Duda, who still serves as head of state, was visiting the presidential palace for protection. In a communication released before his arrest, Kaminski, who was a political prisoner during the communist era, compared his arrest order to that time, saying that despite the sentence, he remained a member of parliament, fought, and served as a member of parliament. He said he intends to continue. A free person. He is reportedly currently on a hunger strike.

Donald Tusk, a former Eurocrat and globalist centrist, may not have won enough votes on the platform he won in last year's national election on restoring the “rule of law,” but after the fact… They were able to form a new party by building a coalition with two smaller parties. He forms a government and ousts the right-wing conservative party Law and Justice (PIS) from power.
PIS lawmakers and supporters have sought to delay the formation of a new government and have questioned some of Tusk's methods since its inauguration. Before the election, Tusk warned: It only takes a few hours to remake Poland After winning. In fact, the country is currently showing signs of being in the process of a so-called “crisis.” self coup, defined as an otherwise democratically elected government taking extraordinary steps to consolidate its power. In recent weeks, the shadow of this has quickly emerged since Andrei Duda's return to power, with news organizations summarily dismissed by the new government and police even deployed to the headquarters of major television stations that are no longer broadcasting.
Indeed, as Politico noted, rushing to seize control of all institutions after regaining control of the government has been “criticized as bending or even breaking the law.”
