There will be another General Assembly of Constitutional Tribunal Judges. This is about Święczkowski's immunity

The next General Assembly of Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. It will deal with requests to waive immunity

As Korwin-Piotrowska informed in her order, on November 17, the General Assembly of Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal is to consider the applications of the Prosecutor General. This includes: for an application for consent to bring Bogdan Święczkowski criminally liable.

During the meeting, a motion to consent to bringing Bogdan Święczkowski criminally liable and depriving him of liberty in the form of arrest and temporary arrest is also to be considered.

The order also indicated that an application regarding Bartłomiej Sochański, the current vice-president of the Constitutional Tribunal, for consent to be held criminally liable would be considered.

"I order the delivery of copies of the applications to judges Bogdan Święczkowski and Bartłomiej Sochański along with a notice that the hearing of the judges will take place on November 17, 2026 at 12:00," concluded Korwin-Piotrowska.

What are the applications about?

The requests to waive Święczkowski's immunity concern, among others, matters relating to the Pegasus and Hermes systems, exceeding powers and failing to fulfill duties by preventing Constitutional Tribunal judges from performing their functions and violating their employment rights, as well as delegating prosecutors contrary to the regulations while Święczkowski was a national prosecutor.

In turn, the motion to waive Sochański's immunity concerns the issue of preventing Constitutional Tribunal judges from performing their official duties.

The Minister of Justice and Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek informed this week that last Friday and Tuesday the Constitutional Tribunal received a total of six applications to waive the immunity of the President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan Święczkowski, and one application to waive the immunity of the Vice-President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bartłomiej Sochański.

Korwin-Piotrowska announced on Tuesday that on Wednesday she would review the requests for the waiver of immunities to decide "on what dates, in what order and how to convene the next meetings."
