Polen: Krise um Verfassungsgericht in Polen spitzt sich zu
Erneut spaltet ein geplanter Umbau des Verfassungsgerichts die polnische Gesellschaft. Als Folge der Eskalation erklären zwei Botschafter nun ihren Rücktritt.
The ongoing conflict surrounding the appointment to the Polish Constitutional Court has escalated, prompting two ambassadors from Poland to resign. Ambassador Pawel Soloch in Romania and Ambassador Jakub Kumoch in China have both announced their intention to step down from their diplomatic posts. Soloch wrote on the social media platform X, "Given the attempt to illegally seize control of the Constitutional Tribunal, I see no way to continue fulfilling my role as Poland's ambassador to Romania."
Kumoch made a similar statement on X, explaining that due to the events in Poland, he could no longer continue serving as an ambassador. Both diplomats had previously served under the conservative President Andrzej Duda. The court announced that its former president, Bogdan Swieczkowski, and his deputy would not serve for one month, with Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska stepping in to manage the tribunal's operations in the interim.
