Poland's Constitutional Court in Power Struggle: Tusk's Camp Takes Over Tribunal, PiS and President Nawrocki Speak of Coup
Poland's Constitutional Tribunal is embroiled in a power struggle between the pro-European government led by Donald Tusk and the right-wing opposition. Newly appointed judges from Tusk's coalition have taken control, leading to accusations of a coup from the opposition. The Tribunal is currently paralyzed with nearly 1,000 unresolved cases, and the situation has escalated tensions between political factions. President Karol Nawrocki has intervened, claiming a constitutional crisis, while Tusk supports the judges' actions. Discussions for a potential resolution, including a complete reset of the Tribunal's judges, are underway but face significant challenges.
