Polish PM Tusk vows support for tribunal amid court crisis
Tusk said the government will protect the court as protesters gathered and police guarded the headquarters amid a fight over judges and legal authority.
- On Friday, Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government suspended Constitutional Tribunal president Bogdan Zwi, citing repeated legal violations and interference with the court's work.
- Tusk's administration argues this action corrects years of lawlessness under the Law and Justice party, which the European Union previously accused of imposing political control over judicial institutions.
- Police detained three protesters Friday night after crowds, including PiS leader Jarosław Kaczynski, rallied outside the tribunal and attempted to forcefully enter the building.
- President Karol Nawrocki invited parliamentary parties to talks on Saturday to address the crisis; representatives from Poland 2050 and PSL met with him while Tusk did not attend.
- The standoff deepens political polarization ahead of next year's parliamentary elections. Tusk stated his government will press forward with efforts to restore judicial independence despite the "painful" and difficult process.
