Poland's crisis over Constitutional Tribunal points to fierce campaign ahead of elections

Poland's Prime Minister Donald Tusk is seeking a meeting with President Karol Nawrocki to alleviate tensions surrounding the reform of the Constitutional Tribunal. During a press conference, Tusk expressed his willingness to meet with the President within the week to discuss ways to reduce the existing tension permanently. Despite likely sticking to their respective positions on most issues, Tusk emphasized that both parties share a responsibility to find solutions that would safeguard Poland from potential political upheavals in the future.

The European Commission is closely monitoring the situation and expects the Polish authorities to ensure that the Constitutional Tribunal operates in accordance with the Polish constitution and respects European Union case law.
