- •President Nawrocki is calling for urgent talks to restore constitutional order.
- •A hacking incident reportedly led to misinformation about court leadership changes.
- •The political crisis reflects deep divisions between Poland's major political factions.
Polish President Karol Nawrocki expressed concerns over national security amid a political crisis involving the Constitutional Court. Following a controversial announcement on the court's website regarding leadership changes, Nawrocki demanded urgent discussions with all parliamentary parties to stabilize the situation. The announcement was later denied, claiming the court's website had been hacked. Tensions escalated as Nawrocki forcibly entered the court to address judges, prompting criticism from Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek, who condemned the president's actions as unacceptable. The crisis stems from a power struggle between Nawrocki and the ruling center-left coalition, which seeks to reverse judicial reforms made by the previous right-wing government. The situation remains volatile, with ongoing protests outside the court building.
