In a recent article, Schutz analyzes the methods employed by the coalition led by Donald Tusk in assuming power, describing the situation as highly volatile and legally complex.
Schutz pointed out the controversial arrests of former ministers at the Presidential Palace and sweeping changes in state television as major catalysts for social unrest. He remarked: "The arrests of former ministers in the Presidential Palace and the purges in state television are two mega-causes that are pushing a part of the nation to the barricades."
While acknowledging the excesses of the pro-government propaganda under the previous Law and Justice (PiS) government, Schutz criticized the current administration's approach to dismantling it. He argued that the fulfillment of the pre-election promise to abolish the Law and Justice tube could have been executed more tactfully, rather than through “legally dubious” means.
The arrest of former CBA heads Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik, key figures in the previous administration, was also questioned by Schutz.
"Are any serious objections to 'former governments' worth such legally dubious steps escalating social polarization to a situation where even authorities are beginning to warn of the risk of civil war?", Schutz asks in the article, underscoring the gravity of the situation in Poland.
