波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克周六晚间表示，周五晚间在围绕该国最高法院控制权的升级对峙中，警方保护了波兰宪法法庭免受袭击者侵害，并指责保守派反对派及总统卡罗尔·纳夫罗茨基破坏法治。
Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Saturday evening that police had protected Poland's Constitutional Tribunal from attackers on Friday night during an escalating standoff over control of the country's highest court, accusing the conservative opposition and President Karol Nawrocki of undermining the rule of law.
图斯克在向全国发表的电视讲话中说：“对宪法法庭及其法官的袭击，是法律与公正党——前执政党——以及纳夫罗茨基和前总统安杰伊·杜达破坏波兰法治进程的又一阶段。”
“The attack on the Constitutional Tribunal and its judges is another stage in the process of destroying the rule of law in Poland by the PiS” – the former ruling Law and Justice party – as well as Nawrocki and former President Andrzej Duda, Tusk said in a televised address to the nation.
图斯克表示，目前寻求掌管法庭的法官是依法选举产生的，但被非法阻止就职；而纳夫罗茨基和反对派则坚持认为，这些法官从未合法履职。
Tusk said the judges now seeking to run the tribunal had been lawfully elected but were unlawfully prevented from taking office, while Nawrocki and the opposition maintain that those same judges never legally assumed their posts.
图斯克补充说，议会在法律与公正党执政期间（2015-2023年）任命的早期成员任期届满后，依法选举了新法官，但纳夫罗茨基今年早些时候拒绝正式接受其中部分人的宣誓。
Tusk added that parliament had lawfully elected new judges after the terms of earlier members appointed during Law and Justice (PiS) rule (2015-2023) had expired, but Nawrocki earlier this year refused to formally receive some of their oaths.
图斯克说：“依法选举产生的法庭成员遭到袭击，现场警方保护了法庭免受袭击者侵害。”
“Legally elected members of the tribunal were attacked, and the police at the scene protected the tribunal from the attackers,” Tusk said.
他补充说，不能通过“向无法无天和暴力让步”来恢复平静，并表示民主国家“必须强大且有能力执行正义。”
He added that calm could not be restored by “giving way to lawlessness and violence,” saying a democratic state “must be strong and capable of enforcing justice.”
图斯克的说法直接与纳夫罗茨基相矛盾，后者周六早些时候表示，波兰的宪法秩序遭到破坏，发生了“对宪法国家机关的强行接管”。“政变”指控危机于周五下午6点（格林威治标准时间1700）左右爆发，当时法庭网站出现一项命令，暂停法庭院长博格丹·希维奇科夫斯基和副院长巴尔托沃米耶伊·索汉斯基的职务，由法官安娜·科尔温-皮奥特罗夫斯卡负责管理法院。
Tusk’s account directly contradicts Nawrocki, who said early Saturday that Poland’s constitutional order had been violated and that there had been a “forcible takeover of a constitutional state body.”Accusations of a ‘coup’The crisis erupted around 6 pm (1700GMT) on Friday after an order appeared on the tribunal’s website suspending President Bogdan Swieczkowski and Vice President Bartlomiej Sochanski from their duties, with Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska assuming responsibility for running the court.
法庭的 X 账号由前任领导层控制，该账号称网站被非法夺取，坚持认为 Świeczkowski 和 Sochański 仍在任，并指控相关人员发动了“政变”。在 Korwin-Piotrowska 警告法官和工作人员面临威胁、可能发生公共秩序混乱后，警方在大楼周围部署了力量。
The tribunal’s X account, controlled by the previous leadership, said the website had been unlawfully seized, insisted Swieczkowski and Sochanski remained in office, and accused those involved of committing a “coup.”Police were deployed around the building after Korwin-Piotrowska warned of threats to judges and staff and possible public disorder.
当时正飞往塞内加尔的 Nawrocki 在西班牙上空掉头，于周五深夜返回华沙。
Nawrocki, who had been flying to Senegal, turned his aircraft around over Spain and returned to Warsaw late Friday.
在会见最高法院第一院长 Zbigniew Kapiński 后，他于周六凌晨 1 点前（格林威治时间 0 点）抵达法庭，与 Korwin-Piotrowska 及其他他质疑身份的法官发生对峙。
After meeting Supreme Court First President Zbigniew Kapinski, he went to the tribunal shortly before 1 am (0000GMT) Saturday, where he confronted Korwin-Piotrowska and other judges whose status he disputes.
Nawrocki 留在法庭直到清晨，随后表示这场危机构成了对波兰内部安全的威胁。他呼吁于周六与议会各党团举行紧急磋商，“以稳定政治局势并恢复宪法秩序”。对峙还波及波兰外交系统，波兰驻中国和罗马尼亚大使因该事件递交了辞呈。
Nawrocki remained at the tribunal until early morning and later said the crisis constituted a threat to Poland’s internal security. He called emergency consultations with parliamentary groups Saturday “to stabilize the political situation and restore constitutional order.”The confrontation also spread into Poland’s diplomatic corps, with Poland’s ambassadors to both China and Romania handing in their walking papers over the incident.
反对派周六也采取行动直接挑战图斯克政府。前总理 Mateusz Morawiecki 表示将提交建设性不信任动议，并提议由一位前议长领导看守政府，直至大选举行。这场争端源于围绕宪法法庭和司法任命的长期冲突。
The opposition also moved Saturday to challenge Tusk’s government directly. Former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said a constructive vote of no confidence would be submitted and proposed a former parliament speaker to head a technical government until elections. The dispute is rooted in a long-running conflict over the Constitutional Tribunal and judicial appointments.
PiS（法律与正义党）在其执政的八年间重塑了法院，招致欧洲机构对司法独立性的批评。
The PiS reshaped the court during its eight years in power, prompting criticism from European institutions over judicial independence.
