Reading some media gave the impression that Poland was under a terrible dictatorship. <strong>This media campaign fuelled a campaign by Von der Leyen's European Commission against Poland<\/strong>, claiming that it was to defend the \"rule of law\" but launching harsh attacks against the government of that country for rejecting abortion and gender ideology.<\/p>\n<p><strong>That campaign suddenly came to an end with the arrival of the centre-left government of Donald Tusk,<\/strong> president of the Platforma Obywatelska (PO), the main Polish partner of the European People's Party. <strong>Without a single legislative change,<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/02\/23\/ursula-von-der-leyen-exposes-the-political-harassment-she-orchestrated-against-poland\/\">Von der Leyen withdrew her sanctions against Poland simply because of the change of government,<\/a> and has maintained them despite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2024\/01\/11\/the-coup-on-the-rule-of-law-by-the-new-center-left-government-in-poland\/\">attacks on the rule of law by the Tusk government,<\/a> which began shortly after coming to power. <strong>Suddenly, many foreign media outlets have lost all interest in current events in Poland<\/strong>, and are now blatantly covering up the abuses of the Tusk government.<\/p>\n<p>This indifference is reaching astonishing extremes. This morning I published here that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/2025\/02\/06\/the-president-of-the-polish-constitutional-court-accuses-donald-tusk-of-staging-a-coup\/\">The president of the Polish Constitutional Court has accused Donald Tusk of staging a 'coup d'\u00e9tat'<\/a>. This news appeared yesterday in the Polish media and has also appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/europeanconservative.com\/articles\/news\/polish-government-under-criminal-probe-for-coup-detat-plot\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The European Conservative<\/a>, among other foreign media.

Of course, Counting Stars will continue to report on Poland and on what Tusk is doing, with Von der Leyen's blessing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The media in Spain often show very uneven attention to the problems of other countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[10720],"tags":[14366,11323,10993,10370,10723],"class_list":["post-58649","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-communication","tag-constitutional-court-of-poland","tag-donald-tusk","tag-platforma-obywatelska-po","tag-poland","tag-prawo-i-sprawiedliwosc-pis"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-08-12 04:58:08","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58649","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=58649"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/58649\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=58649"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=58649"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.outono.net\/elentir\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=58649"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
