On October 31, 2026, Polish President Karol Navrocki convened an urgent meeting with all political forces in the country to discuss the situation unfolding in the Constitutional Tribunal. This decision comes amid a constitutional crisis that has escalated in recent days.
Situation in the Constitutional Tribunal
During his time inside the court, Navrocki expressed determination regarding the actions taking place within the institution. He told the judges that they were not the legitimate representatives of the tribunal and accused the opposition, led by Donald Tusk, of attempting to usurp power. The president emphasized that a "violent takeover of the constitutional organ of the state" occurred overnight, raising serious concerns in society.
Call for Political Stabilization
Navrocki urged the withdrawal of police from the tribunal's territory, which had been sent there by Tusk's government. He stressed the need for urgent consultations with parliamentary representatives to stabilize the political situation in the country. Participants in the consultations will include representatives from various political parties that hold influence in parliament.
Reaction from the Supreme Court
The president also reported that the Chief Justice Zbigniew Kapinski does not recognize the actions of those who, according to him, have "usurped power" in the tribunal. This indicates a serious rift within the country's legal system, which could have far-reaching consequences for Poland's political stability.
