A political earthquake is shaking Poland. The President of the Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan Święczkowski, has dropped a bombshell—Prime Minister Donald Tusk, key government officials, and high-ranking judges and prosecutors are under investigation for allegedly staging an attempted coup. Deputy Prosecutor General Michał Ostrowski launched the probe after Święczkowski filed an official notification of the crime.
When the Law is Ignored, Chaos Follows
Appearing on TV Republika, Święczkowski didn’t hold back. He made it clear that while any democratically elected government has the right to introduce new laws and policies, they must respect the rules of the game—the Constitution.
Trampling on the Constitution
The Constitutional Tribunal President painted a disturbing picture of a government that disregards legal boundaries to push its own agenda.
Using Loopholes to Rule by Force
Święczkowski pointed to parliamentary resolutions as a prime example of how the current leadership is manipulating the system.
A Duty to Speak Up
Faced with these violations, Święczkowski said he had no choice but to act.
He added that he had refrained from acting earlier while serving as a judge in the Tribunal, but his new position as President gave him a broader responsibility to defend the Constitution.
