Tusk calls on Nawrocki to resolve Constitutional Court crisis
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated on November 2 that President Karol Nawrocki bears responsibility for the ongoing chaos surrounding the Constitutional Court. According to Tusk, the solution to the dispute is simple and consists of the president accepting the oath from judges elected by the current parliamentary majority. ORF ↗
Nawrocki refused to accept the oath from five of the eight judges. The dispute subsequently escalated into an open confrontation between the government and the president. On Friday, Nawrocki entered the Constitutional Court building, and according to media reports, pushed one of the female judges. Protests also took place in front of the building, during which police intervened. forum24.cz ↗
Tusk accused the conservative opposition and the president of attacking democracy and the rule of law. He declared that a democratic state must not submit to violence, regardless of how powerful external forces supporting the opposition parties and Nawrocki may be. He described the president's actions as a forceful confrontation that could significantly harm Poland. TVN24.pl ↗
The presidential office and representatives of the PiS party, on the other hand, claim that Tusk's government is responsible for the state of the court. PiS MP Tobiasz Bocheński described the dispute as a competence conflict and refused any involvement in decisions regarding the new judges. Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki intends to initiate a vote of no confidence over the government's actions. TVN24.pl ↗
The European Commission has called on Poland to ensure that the Constitutional Court functions in accordance with the Polish constitution and the rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The conflict thus remains one of the country's main political crises. svet.sme.sk ↗
