Another 349 constitutional complaints have already been assigned for processing. Also awaiting consideration are 70 applications under abstract review, six applications by the president of Poland under preventive review, three competence disputes between central constitutional bodies, and 37 legal questions from courts. Fifty-five constitutional complaints and eight legal questions have remained unconsidered for more than five years.
Judges' assembly and dispute
Korwin-Piotrowska convened a general assembly of Constitutional Tribunal judges for Tuesday, November 3. It is scheduled to begin at 15:30, with the stated purpose of adopting the institution's budget plan for 2027. She also said that every judge holding office may enter the tribunal building with individual approval. According to her, restrictions on entry from Szucha Avenue are related to security and police recommendations.
Bogdan Święczkowski, whose performance of duties Korwin-Piotrowska announced had been suspended, said that he and the judges he called legitimate would not take part in events organized by “usurper judges,” including the planned assembly. Polish President Karol Nawrocki also believes that Korwin-Piotrowska is not a tribunal judge. She is part of a group of five people elected by the Sejm of the current term whom the president did not invite to take the oath; they took it during a ceremony in the Sejm using the formula “before the president.”
