Karol Nawrocki and Polish Constitutional Tribunal judges exchange accusations

Conflict during president's visit to the court

A heated verbal altercation took place in the premises of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal, unfolding after President Karol Nawrocki entered the building. The situation escalated due to disputes over the legal status of the court's members.

Accusations and denial of authority

Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska publicly affirmed her status, as well as that of her colleagues. However, President Nawrocki refused to recognise them as active judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. In response, the head of the presidential chancellery, Marcin Bogucki, accused Ms Korwin-Piotrowska of attempting to carry out a coup d'état.

Prolonged dispute over tribunal composition

The participants in the incident exchanged sharp remarks. Representatives of the tribunal insisted that they were judges, while the president's side categorically denied their authority. This incident became a continuation of the ongoing conflict surrounding the composition and leadership of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal.
