Poland's Constitutional Tribunal faces an acute leadership dispute after Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, elected by the Sejm in March 2026, issued orders on 30 October suspending President Bogdan Święczkowski and Vice-President Bartłomiej Sochański for one month and assumed acting leadership. The move stems from Święczkowski's refusal to seat multiple judges appointed by the current parliamentary majority, a flashpoint in the ongoing standoff between Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government and President Karol Nawrocki over judicial appointments and institutional control. Nawrocki returned from abroad, held cross-party consultations, and described the actions as a forcible takeover, while Tusk emphasized the need to restore constitutional functioning. Protesters gathered outside the building, and the Tribunal's social media account rejected the suspension. A General Assembly called for 3 November and potential immunity proceedings against Święczkowski remain key near-term developments that could influence any reinstatement path.
