Crisis in the Constitutional Tribunal. Extraordinary meeting of the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court of Poland is convening an extraordinary meeting to discuss threats to the constitutional order, particularly regarding judicial independence. This follows a crisis in the Constitutional Tribunal, where tensions escalated after the suspension of its president and vice-president. President Karol Nawrocki interrupted his trip to Senegal to consult with judicial leaders and address the situation. The meeting is set for November 3, coinciding with a session of the Constitutional Tribunal to review its budget. The political climate remains tense, with differing accounts of the events surrounding the crisis.
