Anna Korwin-Piotrowska to lead the Constitutional Tribunal after the removal of Bogdan Święczkowski

The Constitutional Tribunal of Poland has suspended judges Bogdan Święczkowski and Bartłomiej Sochański due to serious misconduct affecting the court's integrity. The suspension is justified by their actions that hindered the proper convening of the Tribunal's General Assembly and the illegal appointment of case panels. Additionally, they have prevented duly elected judges from participating in rulings since April 9, 2026. The Tribunal's press office reported a potential takeover of its website, and the current president remains Święczkowski, while Sochański serves as vice president. The situation has raised concerns about a coup attempt involving judges who did not take their oaths in the presence of the president.
