AI-generated summary
There is an ongoing dispute over leadership in the Constitutional Tribunal after the election of new judges by the Sejm. Currently, the management is held by judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska.
The new judges of the Constitutional Tribunal elected by the Sejm, almost all of them, appeared at their place of work this morning. There are seven of them - the eighth judge, Dariusz Szostak, is on sick leave.
The current president, Bogdan Święczkowski, also wanted to join the Constitutional Tribunal. He arrived on site around 13. However, he was not allowed to enter the premises of the Court.
Commenting on the situation on site, he emphasized that decisions made by judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska are "non-binding". He also wanted to start working.
I demand entry to the premises of the Constitutional Tribunal, to the building of the Constitutional Tribunal. No one dismissed me from the position of president of the Constitutional Tribunal and no actions of a usurper like Anna Korwin-Piotrowska can change that - said Święczkowski during the Constitutional Tribunal.
As Marek Mikołajczyk, a reporter for RMF FM, reports, Bogdan Święczkowski announced that if he is unable to work in the building, he will work in front of the building because "he is not afraid of Poles."
Among those gathered, Święczkowski even signed the first document - a letter to the Chief Commander of the Police, in which he demands the withdrawal of officers from the premises of the Constitutional Tribunal.
The General Assembly of Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal will probably be held on Tuesday at 15.30 - reported by the head of the Constitutional Tribunal, judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska.
On Sunday, in an interview with TVN24, Korwin-Piotrowska said that on Monday she would issue an order that would extend Tuesday's deliberations of the General Assembly of Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal to include an item regarding the drawing of panels of judges needed for disciplinary proceedings against Bogdan Święczkowski and Bartłomiej Sochański.
