Ewa Łętowska: Judges could tolerate the breaking of the law by Bogdan Święczkowski, or start to act

In an interview, Professor Ewa Łętowska discusses the current state of the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland, emphasizing the challenges it faces due to political interference. She argues that the Tribunal's authority has diminished, and the interpretation of laws is now heavily influenced by those in power. Despite the Tribunal's dysfunction before October 30, she believes that the current judges were appointed correctly and have the right to interpret the law. Łętowska acknowledges the complexities of achieving a quorum and the legitimacy of actions taken by the judges to assert their authority. She suggests that while the legal interpretations may not be ideal, they are necessary for the Tribunal to function amidst political turmoil. Ultimately, she expresses hope that the judges will regain their authority through diligent work.
