Jacek Fogiel wrote that Adam Bielan had earlier warned that Donald Trump might react "brutally" to the situation surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal, for example by suspending the base. According to Fogiel, Bielan also claimed that Americans regularly ask him about the Constitutional Tribunal and cannot imagine a forceful solution. Fogiel recalled that when asked on Polsat about a possible intervention by Trump, Bielan said he did not know if the U.S. president was currently focused on events in Poland. Fogiel pointed to the September visit to Poland by a delegation from the U.S. Congress: Democrat Elissa Slotkin and Republicans Thom Tillis and John Curtis. As he wrote, the delegation met with the management of the Ministry of Justice and discussed the crisis surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal. Minister Żurek summarized the talks, saying that American partners showed understanding and support for the reform of the judiciary. Fogiel stated that representatives of both parties supported the principle that in a democratic state the parliamentary majority governs, and accused PiS of appealing to Trump and Congress for help in defending the Tribunal. He added that the parliamentary majority was acting, and Bielan's statement indicated his helplessness. #Polska #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #Ameryka (translated)
