Nawrocki's "sabotage" and Tusk's solution "by force". The constitutional crisis has lasted for a decade.

The ongoing conflict over the Polish Constitutional Tribunal has escalated into a constitutional crisis, rooted in reforms by the conservative Law and Justice party (PiS). The tribunal now has two rival leaderships, with President Karol Nawrocki refusing to appoint judges approved by parliament. The liberal government under Donald Tusk aims to restore the rule of law, but its actions raise concerns. The situation has led to protests and police presence at the tribunal, with accusations of a 'state coup' from PiS representatives. The crisis, which began in 2015, has seen the politicization of the tribunal and challenges to its legitimacy, impacting Polish democracy and international relations.
