Concerns are rising within the Law and Justice (PiS) party that several judges appointed to the Constitutional Tribunal (Trybunału Konstytucyjnego) during their governance may act against the party’s interests. Specifically, PiS fears these judges could facilitate the removal of Bogdan Święczkowski from his position through action by the prosecution service. This apprehension has led to speculation of a potential “betrayal” from within the Tribunal itself. Currently, PiS politicians have temporarily paused their direct monitoring of the Constitutional Tribunal building, describing it as a brief “regrouping.” They anticipate resuming their oversight shortly. The situation highlights ongoing tensions surrounding the independence and political alignment of Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal. The party appears to be testing the loyalty of its appointed judges.
