The Nawrocki-Tusk meeting is postponed. "The president said clearly"

On Monday, President Nawrocki and Prime Minister Donald Tusk took part in the March of Silence in Krakow, organized to commemorate the people who died in Saturday's attack and to express solidarity with the victims, injured people and their loved ones.

The head of the KPRP was asked on Tuesday on Polsat News whether there was a conversation between the president and the prime minister in Krakow on Monday.

I don't know, I haven't talked to the president yet (...), but I think this is not quite the moment or time to talk about political issues. I think that both Mr. President and I hope that Mr. Prime Minister, I am even convinced, were there to be in silence, to be with the people of Krakow, to be with the Poles, said Bogucki.

When asked about the possibility of the president and prime minister arranging a meeting, he replied that "it is difficult to start these talks when there are still police cordons on the premises of the Constitutional Tribunal." Bogucki added that the initiative for the meeting "lies with the government and mainly with Prime Minister Tusk."

This is not a special condition. (...) Should Mr. President talk in a situation where, on the one hand, the Constitutional Tribunal is to some extent also occupied by the police (...), and on the other hand, legally elected judges cannot enter the Tribunal? This is not a normal situation, said the head of the KPRP.

“The president has made it clear.”

He emphasized that "the president clearly said" at the National Security Council meeting last week that "it is absolutely obvious" that "there should be no police in the Constitutional Tribunal" and "judges should be able to return" to the Court. Only then would "a good space open up" to talk.

Bogucki believes that "all the instruments to de-escalate, i.e. lower the temperature of what is happening around the Constitutional Tribunal, are in the hands of one man." This man's name is Prime Minister Donald Tusk, he added.

President Nawrocki's position "will not change"

Bogucki recalled that he talked about the president's meeting with the prime minister with the head of the prime minister's office, Jan Grabiec, who - as he said - "heard from him a very clear position of the president", which "does not change".

Bogucki added that he hoped that "someday" there would be a meeting between the president and the prime minister. After last week's National Security Council meeting, the Prime Minister announced that he had offered the president a one-on-one meeting to consider how to permanently reduce tension in the country. During the public part of the National Security Council, the President assessed that due to the situation in the Constitutional Tribunal, there was a serious constitutional crisis.
