US Congressman Keith Self praises Polish President Karol Nawrocki
US Representative Keith Self, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Europe, sent a letter to Polish President Karol Nawrocki expressing admiration for his leadership during the events of October 30.
Self commended Nawrocki for his decision to cancel a trip to Senegal and immediately return to Poland upon learning that the Constitutional Tribunal was being surrounded by preventive police units and its president was being suspended. The congressman stated that Nawrocki entered the Tribunal building to stand with its legal leadership, an act Self believes helped prevent a deeper constitutional crisis.
In the letter, dated November 6, 2026, the Republican lawmaker emphasized that Nawrocki’s actions demonstrated that state institutions cannot be seized through police cordons. Self noted that such determination is rare and significant, highlighting Poland’s role as a key ally on NATO’s eastern flank and noting that members of the US Congress recognize the importance of these actions.
