Piotr Gliński accuses the government of seizing the Constitutional Tribunal
Published
Piotr Gliński, former deputy prime minister and minister of culture from the Law and Justice party, told the TV channel Republika that the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland had been taken over by police units sent by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The statement was published on the channel's Facebook page.
According to Gliński, the government is trying to control all independent institutions in order to avoid defeat in next year's elections. However, the politician did not provide details on when and how the described actions were supposed to take place.
The dispute over the Constitutional Tribunal has been ongoing in Poland for several years. It concerns primarily the appointment of judges and whether the rulings of this court must be published and respected by the government. The Law and Justice party and the current government hold different positions on this issue.
The available material contains no response from the government and no official documents confirming the described events. Gliński's words are therefore the statement of a politician from one side of the dispute. Readers should check the information in several independent sources before forming an opinion on this matter.
