Poland: Police Raid Presidential Palace to Arrest Conservative MPs

Liberal media welcomes authoritarian turn by EU-backed Tusk government.

Poland’s political power struggle intensified on Tuesday as police stormed the Presidential Palace in Warsaw, arresting two former Law and Justice (PiS) ministers amid new claims of rising authoritarianism from the recently installed Donald Tusk administration.

Former interior minister and deputy interior minister Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik were snatched by police on abuse-of-power charges dating back to 2007, with both politicians decrying the arrests as politically motivated.
