Is Poland Facing a Coup? | Paul McCarthy
Shownotes
Who controls Poland?
On October 30th, while Western Europe was still smoldering, Poland experienced an unprecedented institutional confrontation in the State’s Constitutional Tribunal. Police surrounded the Tribunal as lead judges were expelled. The President of Poland – Karol Nawrocki - turned his plane around to confront the situation personally. The opposition has characterized Prime Minister Tusk’s actions as a coup d’etat. At a minimum, this is a major escalation in Poland’s constitutional crisis. Is Europe in a free fall?
In this episode, Darion sits down with the European Affairs Senior Research Fellow at the Heritage Foundation, Paul McCarthy, to discuss what is actually happening in Poland, and to find out what it means for the rest of the West.
