Umstrittener Justizumbau: Turbulenzen in Polen: Präsident besucht Verfassungsgericht
Das Parlament nominiert fünf neue Richter, doch der rechtskonservative Präsident Nawrocki will sie nicht vereidigen. In der Nacht begibt er sich selbst zum Gericht, vor dem Demonstranten ausharren.
Warsaw - In the dispute over Poland's Constitutional Court, President Karol Nawrocki visited the court building to hold talks with judges. His Secretary of State, Pawel Szefernaker, reported the visit via X, stating that the President of the Supreme Court, Zbigniew Kapinski, accompanied him. Demonstrators remained outside the court building late into the evening.
The long-standing dispute over the appointment of the Constitutional Court between the center-left government led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the right-wing opposition party PiS, which had brought Nawrocki to power, erupted on Friday. The website of the court announced that the former President Bogdan Swieczkowski and his deputy - both of whom owe their positions to PiS - would not serve for a month.
Instead, Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska would lead the court in an acting capacity. The jurist is one of the five new constitutional judges that Nawrocki did not swear in, despite being nominated by the Parliament with the votes of the government majority.
