Earthquake in the TK. European Commission speaks out: Position conveyed to RMF FM

The Polish Constitutional Tribunal must operate in accordance with the constitution and EU law, emphasized Justice Commissioner Michaela McGrath. He noted the importance of the Venice Commission's opinion regarding the appointment of new judges by the Sejm. McGrath highlighted the European Court of Human Rights' interim measures requiring Polish authorities to facilitate the duties of judges elected in March. The situation escalated at the Tribunal following the suspension of its president and vice-president, leading to protests and police presence. The new acting head, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, reported potential threats to judges and staff, prompting police action.
