Why It Matters
The crisis at the Constitutional Tribunal escalated after Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska took over the management and suspended the current management.
President Karol Nawrocki invited representatives of political circles to Monday to jointly seek a solution to the crisis in the Constitutional Tribunal. According to RMF FM journalist Kacper Wróblewski, the meeting will take place on Monday at 2:00 p.m. in Belweder. Parliamentary clubs have already received an official invitation.
The talks will be led by the head of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, Zbigniew Bogucki. President Nawrocki will not be present during the meeting. "The Nowa Polska-Centrum Senate group was also invited to the meeting," Bogucki informed on wPolsce24 television.
Who will come, who refused?
Although invitations have been sent to all groups, not everyone intends to take advantage of them. Leftist politicians have already announced that they will not appear in Belweder. Similarly, politicians of the Civic Coalition.
Politicians from PSL, Polski 2050, Razem, Konfederacja, Law and Justice and Rozwoju Plus have already confirmed their presence.
According to RMF FM journalist Kacper Wróblewski, PSL and Polska 2050 are going to the Presidential Palace with a ready bill on the constitutional reset, which was presented last week. At the same time - as the Minister of Energy Miłosz Motyka says - the People's Party members have a clear message. Today, we do not trust Mr. President in relation to the way he treats the Tribunal and the fact that it does not recognize judges who were properly elected. We want to articulate this. If we do not articulate this, we will continue to entrench ourselves in our own camps, said Motyka.
The Confederation also wants to talk about the reset. We have our own proposals that have been known for a long time - a proposal for a constitutional reset and closing this dispute through amendments to the constitution - Kacper Wróblewski heard from Deputy Marshal Krzysztof Bosak.
Crisis in the Constitutional Tribunal
The meeting in Belvedere is a reaction to the crisis in the Constitutional Tribunal. On October 30, a group of judges elected during this term of the Sejm announced that Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, as the oldest judge, had taken over the management of the Tribunal and ordered a break in the activities of President Bogdan Święczkowski and Vice-President Bartłomiej Sochański. Święczkowski considered it a usurpation, and President Nawrocki stated 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."
Prime Minister Donald Tusk, in turn, emphasized: "The Sejm of the current term elected new judges of the Constitutional Tribunal, but the president did not take the oath from some of them, President Święczkowski prevented them from taking up work, and when after many weeks of waiting they decided to take up their duties, they were attacked."
