Poland's Constitutional Tribunal in Crisis Amid Control Fight

The Hindu - International · world

Poland's Constitutional Tribunal is embroiled in a crisis over control, with its president and vice-president suspended for a month. The order was issued by a judge whose own oath was refused by President Karol Nawrocki. Protesters attempted to breach the Tribunal building as police cordoned it off. President Nawrocki returned to Warsaw and declared the present judges were not legitimate. This escalation stems from a decade-long legal dispute over the Tribunal's authority, which holds significant power to strike down laws and review bills.
