🚨Polish Constitutional court taken over by police force. Donald Tusk’s coup d’etat taking place right #now

👀 Praying for Poland 🙏🇵🇱
‼️ A COUP IS HAPPENING IN POLAND 🇵🇱
Poland's Constitutional Tribunal is being subjected to an extraordinary takeover operation by pro-EU Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
Its official website has been taken over, an announcement has appeared removing its president and vice-president from their duties, and police have been deployed around the institution.
The Tribunal's existing leadership has declared the operation illegal and accused those responsible of committing a coup d'état.
The Constitutional Tribunal is the institution responsible for reviewing whether laws comply with the Constitution. It is broadly comparable to the constitutional-review function of the United States Supreme Court.
Today, its website announced that President Bogdan Święczkowski and Vice-President Bartłomiej Sochański had been suspended for one month.
The person now claiming authority over Poland's Constitutional Tribunal is Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, elected to the Tribunal by Donald Tusk's parliamentary majority in March 2026.
But there is a fundamental legal problem: she has never taken her judicial oath before the President of Poland, Karol Nawrocki.
Under Article 4 of the Act on the Status of Constitutional Tribunal Judges, newly elected judges must take their oath before the President of the Republic.
Nawrocki refused to receive her oath. Instead, on April 9, Korwin-Piotrowska participated in an alternative swearing-in ceremony organised inside the Polish Parliament, without the President's presence or participation.
The Presidential Chancellery explicitly declared that this procedure had no legal basis and could not confer judicial authority. The existing leadership of the Constitutional Tribunal maintains that she is therefore not legally a judge of the institution.
And now, a woman whose authority to serve as a constitutional judge is rejected by the President and the Tribunal's existing leadership is being presented as the person entitled to take control of the entire court.
Poland's Constitution does not give the prime minister or his government the power to dismiss the Constitutional Tribunal's leadership.
Article 194 establishes the Tribunal's composition and the procedure for appointing its president. Article 195 guarantees the independence of its judges.
The announcement of a suspension relies on Article 130 of the law governing ORDINARY COURTS. Invoking this article to suspend the leadership of the Constitutional Tribunal is a legally indefensible distortion of the law, revealing a staggering disregard for elementary constitutional principles.
HOW DID POLAND GET HERE?
Donald Tusk returned to power in December 2023, promising to reverse the judicial reforms introduced under the conservative Law and Justice government.
Those reforms had been fiercely opposed by the European Commission, which initiated rule-of-law proceedings against Poland and linked access to European funding to judicial conditions.
Tusk's government subsequently presented Brussels with a programme for restructuring the judiciary, including the Constitutional Tribunal. The European Commission welcomed that programme and ended its Article 7 proceedings against Poland in 2024.
The methods used by the EU and its supporters undermine the very constitutional principles they claim to restore.
President Karol Nawrocki has reportedly interrupted his journey to Senegal to return to Poland.

🇭🇺 End Article 7 against Hungary. Immediately and unconditionally!
Brussels’ elites weaponised the rule of law against the former government.
Hungarians today commemorate the 1956 freedom fighters who revolted against the Stalinist regime.
They tore the communist emblem from the middle of the Hungarian flag. The Hungarian flag with a hole in the middle remains the symbol of the 1956 revolution until this day.

🇭🇺 In 1956, Hungarians stood up to an empire. They faced tanks with courage, tyranny with defiance, and oppression with an unbreakable desire for freedom.
They showed the world that Hungary would rather fight for its freedom than surrender its future.
70 years later, the threats to our freedom may look different, but our answer remains the same. We will not bow to foreign pressure, surrender our sovereignty or allow others to decide Hungary’s future.
Glory to the heroes of 1956!

There's a new version of this post
Half of the opposition has been denied from running at the next elections. Yet, all of a sudden, the European Commission has no concerns about rule of law and democracy in Hungary.
András LÁSZLÓ MEP 🇭🇺 retweeted
More than 100 people joined our @PatriotsEU conference on liberal authoritarianism in Europe - more than attend an average meeting of the European Parliament’s LIBE Committee, @laszloan pointed out.
Yet the committee responsible for defending democracy, justice and the rule of law has not even put these concerns, including the developments in Hungary, on its official agenda.
“When you undo the rule of law, when you undo democracy, you’re undoing Western civilisation.”
That is why we brought this debate to the European Parliament - and why we will keep raising these issues, even if Brussels would rather look the other way.

🚨🇭🇺🏳️🌈 Hungary's new government is moving to ALLOW LGBTQ advocacy in schools, reversing protections introduced under Orbán.
And it's doing so despite MILLIONS of Hungarians voting against similar changes.
PM Magyar's government is seeking to repeal a provision banning the promotion of homosexuality and gender reassignment to minors, arguing that the changes are necessary to comply with EU law.
The reforms also include changes to public access to Hungary's sex-offender registry.
In a 2022 referendum, roughly 3.6-3.7 million Hungarians voted NO on each of four questions involving LGBTQ-related education and content for minors, although turnout was too low for the referendum to be legally valid.
The move is reigniting a fierce debate over parental rights and Brussels' influence on Hungarian schools.

Since we gutted USAID, the left hasn’t won a single presidential election in Latin America.
Billions in taxpayer cash were funding NGOs, “democracy” programs, and activist networks that conveniently always backed the same side. They called it aid but it was election interference.
Thank you @elonmusk for dragging this into the light. The grift is over.
If the EU is importing more Russian LNG than last year, how are EU countries supposed to cut imports by next year?
What source and at what price?
The EU imported a record 12.18 million tonnes of Russian Arctic LNG in the first nine months of 2026, up 9.5% from 2025, according to Urgewald data published on October 9.

🇪🇺Why aren't EU leaders "Europe first"?
Global fuel markets are not very flexible. The US has lifted sanctions on Russian diesel. The EU will rather go into a fuel crisis doing nothing.

🇭🇺 What is happening in Hungary?
In just a few months: retroactive, tailor-made laws. Voting rights restricted. Opposition figures barred from returning to office. And now, detention and intimidation of opposition MPs.
Where are Brussels’ defenders of democracy now?
We reject double standards on democracy. And we will not stay silent.
