Polish Prosecutor General seeks to lift immunity of two Constitutional Tribunal judges

Poland's Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek filed five applications to the Constitutional Tribunal to lift the immunity of judges Bogdan Święczkowski and Bartłomiej Sochański, transferring 224 pages of documentation and 50 volumes of records. This is a significant escalation in the ongoing political-legal conflict over the Tribunal's composition, potentially leading to criminal proceedings against the judges. The move is likely to deepen the standoff between the government and the Tribunal, with implications for the rule of law in Poland.
