Paweł Kapusta: The Festival of the Dead Democracy, or How to Treat the Tribunal with a Cord and a Baton

The article discusses the ongoing political conflict surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland, highlighting the cynicism of both the ruling coalition and the opposition. It suggests that both sides are aware of the legal ambiguities in their positions but prioritize political gain over truth. The author argues that if the political class genuinely wanted to resolve the tribunal dispute, a bipartisan agreement could have been reached long ago. However, there seems to be no interest in finding a solution, as the conflict serves political purposes.
