Change of power in the Constitutional Tribunal. Two key steps. We explain.

The Constitutional Tribunal in Poland faces a crisis as Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska has taken radical steps to replace President Bogdan Święczkowski. This move comes amid allegations of misconduct and a lack of funding for the Tribunal. Korwin-Piotrowska claims her actions are justified under the law, citing the need for someone to address the president's alleged failures. However, legal experts express doubts about the legitimacy of her authority to act in this manner. The situation has sparked protests from opposition supporters and raised questions about the Tribunal's functioning and the rule of law in Poland.
