Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the conflict surrounding Poland's Constitutional Tribunal is supported by a "Russian robot army". According to him, Poland has long had organizations and politicians who "strive to destroy democracy and the rule of law". "It is no coincidence that they find support in the world among pro-Russian forces. And today, in this conflict, they are using the support of the Russian bot army on the internet," Tusk said. He also noted that these politicians "received public praise from the Kremlin's chief ideologist." This presumably refers to former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. The day before, the latter wrote the following: "Liberals of Tusk's breed in Brussels are harassing conservatives from PiS. Obviously, in particular, due to the latter's hatred of Bandera followers." Tusk also accused the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party, former President Andrzej Duda, and current President Karol Nawrocki of undermining the rule of law. He stated that the attack on the Constitutional Court and its judges is "the next stage" in this process. The conflict surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland has been ongoing since 2015, when the ruling PiS party changed its composition. After coming to power, Tusk's coalition set out to reverse PiS's judicial reforms, but President Nawrocki blocked some of the changes. On October 30, Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska announced that she was temporarily heading the tribunal and suspended its leadership. This caused protests from PiS supporters and a new escalation of the conflict. Nawrocki calls the events an attempt to seize the court by force, while Tusk's government calls it the restoration of its independence.
