Polish president holds crisis talks amid constitutional court standoff
A dispute over the politicisation of Poland's constitutional court is deepening. No side appears ready to back down, and the president is holding crisis talks.
A dispute in Poland over whether the country's Constitutional Tribunal has fallen under political influence is deepening. The court is the body that reviews whether laws comply with the constitution, so disagreement over its independence affects the whole system of state power.
The Polish president is holding crisis talks over the situation. According to Al Jazeera, there is no sign that either side is prepared to retreat from its position.
The source gives no further details about which political forces are involved, what specific demands have been made, or how the talks are going. Those questions remain open until more information emerges.
