New Polish government tightens grip on power

New polish government, which came to power after winning 235 seats (closest opposition ruling PO party with 138 seats) in October election has raided NATO-affiliated facility in a Midnight raid and replaced the head.

Defence ministry officials and military police raided the facility at 1:30 am in the morning to remove officials those were not supported by current government.

Deputy defence minister told this is to guarantee normal functioning of all government institutions and defended the move it is defence ministry's sovereign right.

Next year, NATO will hold one of its bi-annual summit in Warsaw, sometime in July. So the move is pretty significant, to push new government's agenda on the discussion table. However, such mid-night move to a NATO facility is unprecedented in its history and shows the new government, which is also known as EU skeptics are ready to take up bold, even unprecedented actions.
