The words of the Civic Platform chairman were perceived by many as signalling actions potentially exceeding the democratic procedures of transferring presidential power. Some commentators voiced concerns about a possible unlawful attempt to question the results of the presidential elections won by Karol Nawrocki.
The editor-in-chief of TV Republika weighed in:
“Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Tusk’s post indicates that they’re planning something tomorrow. The Gazeta Polska Clubs are calling on people to gather from 9 a.m. to defend the Supreme Court at Plac Krasińskich in Warsaw,” wrote Tomasz Sakiewicz.
In response to announcements by the prime minister and government politicians, Gazeta Polska Clubs have announced a mobilisation, urging citizens to assemble at the Supreme Court in Warsaw tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. to defend democracy and the integrity of the electoral process.
