Donald Tusk on the Constitutional Tribunal: President Nawrocki chooses a forceful confrontation, the state will not yield

The conflict over the Constitutional Tribunal escalated, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk advocating for a resolution without constitutional changes. Tusk emphasized the need for the president to recognize judges legally elected by the Sejm. Meanwhile, Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska suspended Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski, leading to police intervention and ongoing protests. The situation prompted President Karol Nawrocki to cancel a trip and call for urgent consultations, although not all parliamentary factions accepted the invitation. An upcoming General Assembly of Tribunal judges is scheduled, but quorum concerns remain.
