POLAND PLUNG IN A POLITICAL CRISIS

Poland is experiencing a serious institutional crisis pitting the pro-European government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk against the nationalist President Karol Nawrocki over control of the Constitutional Tribunal. The president's refusal to approve the appointment of new judges has sparked a confrontation between the two sides, escalating to police intervention and accusations of a coup. Despite several mediation attempts, no compromise has been reached. This crisis is exacerbating the country's political divisions just one year before parliamentary elections scheduled for November 2027.
