Zbigniew Barwina: Will the Constitutional Tribunal manage to bounce back from the bottom?

Recent events have highlighted the diminishing authority and significance of the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland. The debate centers around whether the appointment of Anna Korwin-Piotrowska to lead the Tribunal is justified by a constitutional necessity or constitutes a coup supported by the executive power.

This perception undermines its credibility in the eyes of the public and other governmental bodies.
