Zbigniew Bogucki on the crisis in the Constitutional Tribunal: This is a battle for Polish democracy, not a fight for the Tribunal

During a press briefing, Zbigniew Bogucki discussed the ongoing crisis surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal, emphasizing its unprecedented nature and implications for Polish democracy. He stated that the conflict is not about individuals but about constitutional authority. Bogucki assured that the President's actions are motivated by concern for the Republic, not political interests. He mentioned that the Chancellery has legal opinions confirming that there is a deliberate violation of the law. The situation escalated with a takeover of the Tribunal by a group of judges, leading to police involvement and protests from opposition politicians. President Karol Nawrocki interrupted his trip to address the crisis.
