Tusk: Politicians Threatening Polish Democracy Use Russian Bot Support

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated on Saturday evening that, in the conflict surrounding the country's Constitutional Tribunal, some politicians are drawing on the support of a "Russian bot army". The Constitutional Tribunal is the Polish body that assesses whether laws comply with the constitution, so a dispute over it touches directly on how state institutions function and on the rule of law.

Tusk described these politicians as people who are seeking to "destroy democracy" in Poland. The statement is the prime minister's own assessment of the participants in the conflict and their actions.

The source does not name any specific politicians, offer evidence of bot activity, or explain which steps concerning the Constitutional Tribunal triggered the dispute. It also does not include a response from the politicians accused.
