Poland's president accuses Tusk of forced takeover of country's top court
WARSAW, Oct 31 -
asserted
president → accuse → court
Polish President Karol Nawrocki on Saturday accused Prime Minister Donald Tusk of staging a forced takeover of the country's top court after the head of the court, an ally of the previous far right government, was suspended.
asserted
head → accuse → government
Late on Friday, the Constitutional Tribunal said its longest-serving judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska had suspended Bogdan Swieczkowski, the tribunal's president and an appointee of Tusk's hard-right predecessor, and was now in charge of the court.
asserted
judge → say → court
The move escalated a battle between Nawrocki, an ally of the previous nationalist government, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-European government over control of the judiciary.
"Tonight, there was a breach of public order in the Republic of Poland and a forcible takeover of a constitutional body," Nawrocki said in a statement read by an aide outside the court early on Saturday, after the president had turned back mid-flight from a trip to Africa to address the situation.
asserted
president → escalate → situation
He headed straight to the court where riot police were out in force as several hundred protesters demanded Swieczkowski's reinstatement.
asserted
protesters → head → reinstatement
Nawrocki called for urgent political consultations.
asserted
Nawrocki → call → consultations
Tusk, writing on X, said his government was seeking to restore the rule of law, which the European Union had accused his predecessors — the Law and Justice Party — of subverting.
asserted
Union → write → predecessors
"This process is difficult, at times even painful, and requires decisive action.
asserted
process → require → action
There is no other way," he said.
asserted
he → be → ?
A long-running political dispute over the Constitutional Tribunal has effectively paralysed the institution, with the pro-European government and the nationalist president refusing to recognise appointees put forward by the other side.
asserted
government → run → side
The dispute dates back to 2015, when the Law and Justice sought to appoint judges to seats already filled by the previous government.
asserted
Law → date → government
Its nominees gained a majority on the Constitutional Tribunal, while critics at home and abroad said the court no longer met the standards of an independent and impartial tribunal established by law.
asserted
court → gain → law
After Tusk's coalition took office in 2023 it pledged to restore the rule of law and reform the court, but Law and Justice ally Nawrocki has acted to thwart those efforts since his election as president in 2025.
asserted
Nawrocki → take → 2025
Earlier this year, Nawrocki refused to swear in three of six judges nominated by parliament, while Swieczkowski, a former deputy justice minister in the Law and Justice administration, declined to seat judges elected by the current parliamentary majority.
asserted
Swieczkowski → refuse → majority
Last month, parliament appointed Tusk ally Maciej Berek to the tribunal, which critics said undermined the government's stated goal of restoring checks and balances.
asserted
critics → appoint → checks
