Former chairmen of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal supported changes in leadership

Four former presidents of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal support changes in the court's leadership, viewing them as essential to resolving a long-standing crisis. They criticized President Karol Nawrocki for blocking the appointment of new judges and condemned his recent actions at the court. The Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights questioned the legality of the removal of the court's president and vice-president, calling for political consensus. The European Commission urged Nawrocki to approve new judges to ensure the court operates within constitutional and EU law. The U.S. ambassador warned against actions that could escalate tensions.
