“I'm going in first.” Behind the scenes of Karol Nawrocki's entry into TK

Zbigniew Bogucki, on Telewizja Republika, confirmed the reports of "Rzeczpospolita", according to which Karol Nawrocki, before entering the building, addressed the SOP officers with the words: "I'm going in first, you follow me."

As the head of the Chancellery of the President explained, it was a conscious decision of the head of state.

The president wanted to go first, thinking that he would enter the Tribunal because there was no host there, because the host was the president, vice-president and legal judges - said Bogucki.

He also assured that Nawrocki had no grudge against the officers of the State Protection Service, because he himself decided on such a course of entry to the Constitutional Tribunal's headquarters.

The head of the presidential office also said that Karol Nawrocki had previously entered into talks with the government about creating a separate protective formation for the head of state. This is about a solution in which each president of the Republic of Poland, regardless of who holds the office, would have his own guard subordinated only to him.

The president once entered into talks with the government about ensuring that each president of the Republic of Poland, regardless of who he is, would have his own presidential guard, which would be subordinated only to him, Bogucki said.

However, he did not provide details about the possible project or its future fate.

When asked about the possible date of the conversation between Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the president, Bogucki replied that there was no date yet, but that it was a matter of the next few days.

The conflict around the Constitutional Tribunal intensified on Friday when representatives of the group elected as judges of the Constitutional Tribunal during this term of the Sejm provided information that Anna Korwin-Piotrowska had become the head of the Constitutional Tribunal and issued an order suspending the activities of the President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan Święczkowski, and Vice-President Bartłomiej Sochański.

The president interrupted his trip to Senegal and returned to Warsaw; met, among others, with the First President of the Supreme Court, Zbigniew Kapliński, and then came to the seat of the Constitutional Tribunal.

On Saturday morning, the president issued a statement saying that "there was a violation of the constitutional order of the Republic of Poland and a forcible takeover of a constitutional organ of the state."

On Saturday evening, Prime Minister Tusk delivered a speech in which he said, among other things: that "the attack on the Constitutional Tribunal and its judges is another stage of the process of destroying the rule of law in Poland by PiS and presidents Andrzej Duda and Karol Nawrocki" and "the state must be strong and capable of enforcing justice."
