"Brutal attack by the executive power." Święczkowski and Sochański issued a statement

The President and Vice-President of the Constitutional Tribunal of Poland issued a statement condemning the executive branch's actions as an unlawful attack on judicial independence. They described events from October 30, where police allegedly barricaded the Tribunal, preventing judges from entering. They claimed these actions were premeditated and expressed hope that the public would oppose such actions. The statement also criticized the legitimacy of Anna Korwin-Piotrowska's claim to lead the Tribunal, asserting it has no legal effect. The situation has escalated, with protests outside the Tribunal and political consultations called by the President.
