Roberta Metsola visits Poland amid Constitutional Tribunal crisis

Roberta Metsola Donald Tusk Karol Nawrocki Constitutional Tribunal Poland

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola conducted a two-day visit to Poland, meeting separately with Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki. The visit occurs during an escalating constitutional crisis regarding the authority over the Constitutional Tribunal. The government maintains that the court is influenced by the previous administration and supports the appointment of new judges, while President Nawrocki refuses to recognize these appointments, claiming they are unlawful.

During her meetings, Metsola discussed European security, support for Ukraine, climate policy, migration, and EU enlargement. While meeting with students at the Warsaw School of Economics, she noted that the pace of the EU's climate transformation had been too rapid and failed to account for differences between member states.

Members of the Law and Justice (PiS) party criticized the visit, sending an open letter to Metsola. They requested she meet with representatives from the President's Chancellery, the Supreme Court, and the Constitutional Tribunal to ensure objectivity, alleging that the current government's actions regarding the judiciary resemble a coup attempt.
