US Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose commented on the developments in Poland, calling the situation "really very serious" "It seems that we are witnessing an unprecedented conflict around the government's use of state power and the independence and authority of a constitutional institution. Both sides present very different accounts of what happened and why. Whatever the facts eventually emerge, the thousands of people gathered outside the courthouse make an already dangerous situation even more tense. The last thing Poland needs is a conflict that escalates into something much worse," Rose said.
