00:01The leader of France's far-right National Rally Party, Marine Le Pen, has weighed in on Poland's deepening constitutional tribunal
00:08crisis, saying it is cause for profound concern.
00:12The contested suspension of the tribunal's president and the intervention of security forces around this institution appear to resemble a
00:20forcible takeover of a constitutional body, Le Pen wrote in a post on X.
00:26Poland's foreign minister, Radoslav Sikorski, commented on Le Pen's post, writing also on X, to respect us by not interfering
00:35in domestic politics.
00:36The dispute over the composition of Poland's top court has fueled an open confrontation with President Karol Nawrowski, who attempted
00:44to enter the tribunal building amid a deadlock over the appointment of new judges on Friday night.
00:50The opposition has accused Donald Tusk's government of attempting a coup, while the government says it is pushing ahead with
00:58long-needed reforms to restore the rule of law after the law and justice party interference in the judiciary.
01:04Thank you very much.
