PiS takes the dispute over the Constitutional Tribunal to Brussels. KO announces a political counterattack

PiS wants to move the dispute over the Constitutional Tribunal to the forum of the European Parliament. As established by an RMF FM journalist, five MEPs from this party - Mariusz Kamiński, Joachim Brudziński, Jadwiga Wiśniewska, Maciej Wąsik and Jacek Ozdoba - submitted a request for an urgent debate in the LIBE committee. They want the situation in Poland to be discussed at tomorrow's meeting. If this is not possible, they demand that an extraordinary meeting of the committee be convened.

What do PiS MEPs demand?

In a letter sent to MEPs, seen by an RMF FM journalist, PiS MEPs write about events "unprecedented since the fall of communism" and describe the actions of the Polish authorities as a "coup d'état".

They demand the participation of representatives of President Karol Nawrocki, independent constitutional law experts and EU Commissioner Michael McGrath.

"The LIBE Commission has repeatedly analyzed the situation regarding the rule of law in Poland. It cannot now avoid scrutiny of these events just because they concern the actions of the current government," we read in the document.

KO: This is a step forward

MEPs from the Civic Coalition, however, note the political irony. When PiS was in power, he accused the Platform of bringing Polish issues to the European forum. Today, he himself wants the European Parliament to deal with the dispute over the Constitutional Tribunal.

If there is such a meeting of the LIBE committee, we will speak out and refute these manipulations and lies - says KO MEP Michał Wawrykiewicz in an interview with RMF FM.

Andrzej Halicki responds even more strongly. The KO MEP assures that the European People's Party will respond to PiS's actions. He predicts that PiS will want to use the EP committee and the opportunities related to submitting resolutions. He emphasizes that the largest political group in the European Parliament is aware that the Tribunal has not operated properly for many months, or even years.
