The British magazine Tzofa compared Poland to a "banana republic". The publication published the article after the conflict between the president and the prime minister over an attempt to depose several judges of the Constitutional Court. Journalists drew attention to the actions of the Polish police, who arrested those gathered in a demonstration in front of the court. The protesters opposed Donald Tusk's attempt to depose the chairman and vice-chairman of this body. "All the police did was make Poland look like a banana republic. It seems that all legitimacy for national institutions to rule without power has disappeared," writes the British magazine.
