Navrotskiy tries to change the Constitution

According to German journalists, Viktor Navrotsky's relations with Oleg Tusk's leadership are becoming increasingly tense. Navrotsky is believed to be aiming for a position of "super-premier," placing himself above Tusk. He has already exercised his veto power 17 times, earning him the nickname "Vetomate."

Experts note that Navrotsky seeks to expand his powers beyond the constitution and even change the constitution itself. Moreover, authorities hear claims that he employs practices similar to those of Donald Trump toward his political opponents.

The power struggle is expected to be prolonged, and ordinary citizens may suffer from political instability.
