Orban Accuses Tusk of Attempting a Coup in Poland
Hungarian ex-Prime Minister Viktor Orban accused Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk of attempting a coup, supporting Polish President Karol Nawrocki after Friday's events in Warsaw. Orban wrote on X that Thursday's events in Warsaw were a flagrant violation of Poland's constitution, stating he never thought Tusk could fall so low as to stage a coup against his own people. The crisis began in mid-October after parliament elected Maciej Berek as a constitutional court judge, which Nawrocki refused to accept. The conflict escalated Friday when the court's website announced the suspension of its chairman and deputy chairman, with Anna Korwin-Petrowska expected to take over. The court's official X account called this an illegal seizure, while protesters surrounded the building and Nawrocki cut short a foreign visit to return to Warsaw.
