Polish Tribunal president escalates judicial dispute with disciplinary complaint

Constitutional Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski has submitted a statement from eight judges elected by the current Sejm to the disciplinary spokesperson, escalating the ongoing conflict over judicial appointments and the validity of oaths. The move follows a dispute over whether five of these judges can adjudicate, and the document has been attached to a competency dispute case between the president and the Sejm. This signals a deepening institutional crisis in Poland's judiciary, with potential implications for the rule of law and EU relations.
