Opposition MPs Scrutinise Interior Ministry Over Police Actions at Constitutional Tribunal
Published
Opposition MPs are examining the actions of the police towards the Constitutional Tribunal at the Ministry of the Interior and Administration. The information was provided by Polskie Radio. The inspection concerns how officers behaved in the building of this most important court in constitutional matters.
MP Radosław Fogiel accused the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk of using armed police units. According to him, the police were supposed to take over and seize an independent institution. These words are an accusation made by an opposition politician, not a finding of an independent institution.
The Constitutional Tribunal has for several years been at the centre of a political dispute in Poland. The dispute concerns who should elect the judges of this tribunal and how it should operate. The government and the opposition hold different views on this matter, which is why every decision concerning the tribunal's building or work arouses strong emotions.
For now, it is unclear what conclusions the MPs will draw after the inspection at the ministry. It is worth following further information, as explanations from the government and the police may change the picture of this situation.
