Waldemar Żurek has submitted five motions to the Constitutional Tribunal seeking to lift immunity from two senior tribunal figures, a move that puts the tribunal’s own leadership under direct legal pressure. Four of the motions concern Bogdan Święczkowski, the acting head of the Constitutional Tribunal, and one concerns Bartłomiej Sochański, its vice-president.
Żurek announced the filing on X, saying the package totals 224 pages and was accompanied by 50 volumes of materials. That scale alone signals a substantial case file, and it is the reason the submission is drawing attention now: it is not a brief procedural request, but a large legal move aimed at two of the body’s top officials.
What the filings are said to cover is still not public in full. Żurek said the materials concern offenses indicated in the documents, but he did not disclose what those offenses are, leaving the central allegation out of view even as the motions themselves are now on the table. The filings were delivered to the Constitutional Tribunal judge with the longest tenure, which matters because that judge received all 50 volumes linked to the motions.
That leaves the next step with the tribunal itself. Żurek said further information in the case will be provided by the Constitutional Tribunal, and for now the key fact is simple: Poland news is centered on a legal challenge that reaches into the tribunal’s leadership, with the substance of the accusations still withheld from public view.
