Marine Le Pen accuses the Polish government of taking over the Constitutional Court by force and criticizes the EU's silence on the crisis. "The serious events currently taking place in Poland around the Constitutional Court are a cause for deep concern. The controversial suspension of the president of the courts and the deployment of security forces around the institution amounts to a forced takeover of a constitutional institution. The indifference of the European Unions and the media's silence on the Polish crisis raises legitimate questions. It is impossible to claim to protect democracy and the rule of law while remaining silent when the constitutional balance of a member state is seriously threatened. The rule of law cannot be restored by appearing to ignore the very rules on which it is based. The growing number of such power grabs within the EU is becoming a serious cause for concern."
