Poland's democracy under threat

"We have passed the point of no return, the line that separates a democratic state from a state where the rule of law is gradually being eroded," the newspaper's chief editor Adam Michnik concludes following Kaczmarek's arrest. Michnik calls for the immediate removal of Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczyński from office. The Kaczynski brothers and their team will use all the tricks at their disposal to conceal their dark secrets and remain in power until the new elections. The whole dirty scenario of bugging operations, arrests, intrigues and provocations must be exposed... Jaroslaw Kaczyński is very well acquainted with the saying that it doesn't matter who votes for what, what matters is who counts the votes and how. Fair elections require the immediate removal of Jaroslaw Kaczynski as head of government and Zbigniew Ziobro as Justice Minister. Yesterday's events prove that they will stop at nothing to achieve their goals."
