EU Commission: Polish Parliament has right to appoint judges to the Constitutional Court

Polish President Karol Nawrocki convened emergency consultations with parliamentary leaders on Saturday, Oct. 31, following a dramatic escalation at the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw. Nawrocki aborted an official trip to Senegal to physically enter the court building, denouncing the police cordon and the suspension of Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski as a violation of the constitutional order.
