Why are you broadcasting lies.
Tusk broke law in Poland as if it was nothing to him. Unlawfully disconnected the signal to the public TVP station, sent a private "so called strong people" to remove the journalists there, and sent underqualified journalists to broadcast his lies and propaganda. Tusk broke many laws in Poland those constitute crimes. He's trying to establish absolute dictatorship under a lie of "restoring democracy" and democracy is being destroyed by Tusk, whose already committed many crimes. Unlawfully ordered the
Justice minister to recall the State Prosecutor in the manner of breaking the law (in anti-democratic way – like a dictator) that constates crime. He's trying to destroy the justice system in Poland. He wants to have justices to listen to him and in that way to behave in the courts of law. He is trying to introduce strongly anti-democratic system, an absolute dictatorship. Why so many stations are spreading out lies of "restoring democracy" – it's pure nonsense – Democracy is being destroyed in Poland by Tusk.
Tusk works on orders coming from outside of Poland. Right after elections some of the German press was writing that Tusk should "restore democracy" by non-democratic ways. Germany has an interest in creating so called federalization of the European Union, that will take away any decision making from the member countries on over sixty most important topics constituting their sovereignty, like politics, defense, economy, education and so on, that will make them practically entirely dependent. But Germany has to establish support for that idea. Tusk is their man, as well as some people in his party, co called "civil coalition", and is following their plan that has already been prepared a long time ago. The TVP has been the only major pro PIS station in Poland, even during its rule in Poland, and even at that time Tusk and his party had more media coverage than PIS, the ruling party at that time. Taking over TVP, in an illegal way, Tusk broke the law and deprived PIS of any major media coverage.

Those two ministers were sentenced by set-ups of Tusk and his party co called "civic coalition", by setting up politicized prosecutor and the judge to sentence the two former ministers. Tusk wants to establish absolute dictatorship in Poland. under a lie of "restoring democracy"

Tusk dokonał zamachu na media publiczne w Polsce. Pomimo tego że posłowie opozycji mają imunitet zostali wtraceni do więzienia gdzie byli torturowani. Ludzie mają dość tego rządu Tuska wyszli na ulicę 300 tyś aby pokazać swój sprzeciw! Rząd Tuska dewastuje prawo… niszczy prokuraturę wprowadza chaos 😢. Rząd Tuska aresztował w pałacu prezydenckim jego gości posłów podczas nieobecności prezydenta. Tusk zachowuje się jak bandyta 😢

Didn't mention that actually arresting two MPs is illegal because they have the immunity.

1:38 Civic Coalition also used public media for propaganda before PiS. Under older name"Civic Platform" or "Platforma Obywatelska". Back then there were almost no room for conservative voice in media, and that's why PiS voters have a point when they say they defend free speech by protesting against taking over television and radio by Tusk's people.

Polish society is heavily polarized so you will read plenty of comments that contradict each other.

Both of these parties claim to be more or less right-wing but they are actually very leftist on a social level

Important fact is that Coalition's actions against PiS have overwhelming support in the polls

Shame you didn’t mentioned that those two mp’s where sent to jail because of court judgment from before they came to power in 2015. And current government and many law experts find president pardon invalid just because he did it… too early after that judgment. From beginning government officials said that simplest way to avoid whole situation is to use presidents privilege and pardon them again, just proper way …
But I must admit – to live here is like being at circus show. With few dozens of clowns 🤡🤡🤡🤡
