Bogdan Święczkowski: Sooner or later we will enter the Tribunal building

Bogdan Święczkowski, who was removed from his duties as president by the decision of the new head of the Constitutional Tribunal, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, announced on Telewizja Republika on Saturday morning that judges he considered "legal" were coming to Warsaw. The meeting is scheduled to take place around 11-12.

I hope that seven people will meet and talk about what and how we can do to restore a legally functioning Constitutional Tribunal, said Święczkowski.

Break in activities and new management of the Constitutional Tribunal

On Friday evening, information appeared that Anna Korwin-Piotrowska was the new head of the Tribunal. It was she who issued the order on a break in activities for both Święczkowski and vice-president Bartłomiej Sochański. This decision sparked violent reactions and led to demonstrations and protests in front of the Constitutional Tribunal's headquarters, where the police also appeared.

"Sooner or later we will enter the Constitutional Tribunal building"

Święczkowski does not intend to give up his role. He assures that his goal is to "calm down the atmosphere" and talk to the other judges. At the same time, it warns that those responsible for the recent events may face legal consequences in the future.

Sooner or later we will enter the Tribunal building. Perhaps we will rule in other places. We have access to some of our materials, so I think we will manage, he announced.

The president's intervention and the prime minister's reaction

On the night from Friday to Saturday, President Karol Nawrocki appeared at the headquarters of the Constitutional Tribunal. Recordings of his entry into the building and the dispute with people elected by the current Sejm as judges of the Tribunal appeared in the media.
