Judge of Polish tribunal requests clearing of entrances for protests
Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska asked the Polish police to remove protesters in front of the Constitutional Tribunal's headquarters in Warsaw and clear the entrances to the institution. The police received her letter, but are not yet planning action against the demonstrators. TVN24.pl ↗
Korwin-Piotrowska, whom the Polish government regards as the person running the tribunal's work, approached the police in writing. In the request, she speaks of the need to open up access to the building. In recent days, protesters have been staying in front of the tribunal's headquarters with tents and other equipment. Onet Wiadomosci ↗
The situation around the institution remains tense. On Monday, Warsaw's Aleja Szucha, which runs alongside the tribunal's headquarters, was closed. In the morning hours, only a few people were present near the building; later, more protest participants began gathering there. TVN24.pl ↗
Police leadership has not yet announced any plan to clear the area or take other coercive action. The judge's letter therefore does not mean an immediate intervention by security forces. Further steps will depend on how the situation at the entrances develops and on the police's decision whether to consider the gathering an obstacle to the tribunal's functioning.
The dispute is taking place within the broader constitutional crisis surrounding the leadership of the Polish tribunal. The judge's latest request, however, also shifts the conflict into the practical dimension of access to the building and securing its day-to-day operation.
