The European Commission responded to the crisis surrounding Poland's Constitutional Court "The Polish authorities must ensure that the Constitutional Court can act in accordance with the Polish Constitution and in accordance with the relevant rulings of the Court of Justice of the European Union. The appointment of eight new members of the Constitutional Court belongs to the constitutional powers of the Sejm, the Polish parliament," the spokesman said. He also recalled the decision of the European Court of Human Rights of May 5, 2026, which ordered the Polish authorities not to prevent judges elected by the Sejm in March 2026 from taking office and performing their duties.
