Prof. Marcin Matczak on the events in the Constitutional Tribunal: Waldemar Żurek violated about five provisions of the Constitution

Professor Marcin Matczak criticized the suspension of the President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan Święczkowski, arguing it lacks legal basis and undermines democracy. He emphasized that the Minister of Justice cannot suspend Tribunal judges, as they are governed by the Constitution. Matczak warned that such actions could have long-term negative effects on the rule of law in Poland. The situation escalated outside the Tribunal, with police intervention following a warning about potential threats to staff safety. The former leadership accused the new president of illegal takeover, while political tensions rose, with Jarosław Kaczyński claiming a violent coup attempt by the opposition.
