Polish police on Tuesday entered the country’s presidential palace and arrested two politicians convicted of abuse of power, writes DW.

The former interior minister Mariusz Kaminski and his former state secretary Maciej Wasik had allegedly taken refuge in the palace of President Andrzej Duda.

Earlier, Prime Minister Donald Tusk accused right-wing President Andrzej Duda of obstructing their imprisonment.

“Mr President, my heartfelt appeal for the good of the Polish state: you must put an end to this spectacle. It will lead us into a very dangerous situation”, - Tusk said in Warsaw.

It is the latest incident in an escalating dispute between the new government, led by Tusk, and the conservative Law and Justice party (PiS) that governed Poland for eight years.
