Polish President calls for urgent talks amid constitutional court crisis
Published
Polish President Karol Nawrocki called early on Saturday for urgent negotiations with parliamentary groups. According to him, the aim is to restore constitutional order in the country.
The crisis concerns Poland's Constitutional Tribunal. Disputes over the tribunal's status and the selection of its judges have continued since 2015. The disagreement has persisted through several different governments, and for this reason many politicians and experts have been concerned about the state of the country's justice system.
The president's appeal is addressed to various political groups. However, the news report does not specify in more detail what the negotiations will cover or when they will begin. No proposals for solutions have been published yet either.
The situation is also important for Finnish readers, as Poland is a member state of the European Union. The principles of the rule of law apply to the entire Union, and therefore the EU is closely monitoring the situation in Poland. More information is expected in the coming days as the negotiations progress.
