Poland's Supreme Court has upheld the removal of two Constitutional Tribunal (TK) judges, Święczkowski and Sochański, intensifying the judicial conflict. Concurrently, the TK, under President Święczkowski, is confirmed to have failed to rule on any citizen constitutional complaints in 2026, focusing instead on politically sensitive cases, indicating institutional paralysis and politicization. The Supreme Court has also rejected a complaint from the TK president, asserting a lack of jurisdiction over the TK.
