- In March 2026, the Sejm elected six constitutional judges; President Karol Nawrocki invited only two to take the oath.
- The four remaining judges took their oaths before the Sejm in a notary’s presence; Nawrocki did not recognize those oaths.
- In May 2026, an ECJ interim order allowed the four judges to take office; court president Święczowski rejected its authority.
- In mid-October 2026, the Venice Commission said Nawrocki must swear in all elected judges promptly and could not assess their suitability.
A public servant has no right to place himself above the law, and the Constitutional Court is not a private fortress.— Waldemar Żurek, Poland’s justice minister, wrote this on X in response to allegations that elected judges had been barred from entering the Constitutional Court.
