波兰总理唐纳德·图斯克周六晚间表示，周五晚间在争夺该国最高法院控制权的对峙升级期间，警方保护了波兰宪法法庭免受攻击者侵害，并指责保守派反对党和总统卡罗尔·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攻击，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合法选举产生的，但被非法阻止就职；而纳夫罗茨基和反对党坚持认为，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（PiS）执政期间（2015-2023年）任命的早期成员任期届满后，合法选举产生了新法官，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.
“合法选举产生的法庭成员遭到攻击，现场警方保护了法庭免受攻击者侵害，”图斯克说。
“Legally elected members of the tribunal were attacked, and the police at the scene protected the tribunal from the attackers,” Tusk said.
他补充称，不能通过“向无法无天和暴力让步”来恢复平静，并表示一个民主国家“必须强大，并有能力执行正义。”
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“对一个宪法国家机构的强行接管”。“政变”指控这场危机于周五下午6点（格林尼治标准时间1700）左右爆发，当时法庭网站上出现一项命令，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.
该法庭由先前领导层掌控的X账号称，该网站系被非法查封，坚称斯维耶奇科夫斯基（Swieczkowski）和索汉斯基（Sochanski）仍在职，并指责相关涉事人员实施了“政变”。在科尔温-皮特罗夫斯卡（Korwin-Piotrowska）警告称法官和工作人员面临威胁、且可能发生公共骚乱后，警方被部署到了大楼周围。
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.
纳夫罗茨基（Nawrocki）当时正乘飞机前往塞内加尔，他在西班牙上空掉头，并于周五晚些时候返回华沙。
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兹比格涅夫·卡平斯基（Zbigniew Kapinski）后，他于周六凌晨1点（格林尼治时间00点00分）前不久前往法庭，在那里与科尔温-皮特罗夫斯卡及其他他对其身份存有争议的法官当面对质。
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.
纳夫罗茨基在法庭逗留至清晨，随后表示这场危机构成了对波兰国内安全的威胁。他呼吁周六与各议会党团举行紧急磋商，“以稳定政治局势并恢复宪法秩序”。这场对峙还蔓延到了波兰的外交使团，波兰驻中国和罗马尼亚大使因这一事件双双辞职。
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.
反对派也在周六采取行动，直接向图斯克（Tusk）政府发起挑战。前总理马特乌什·莫拉维茨基（Mateusz Morawiecki）表示，将提交一份建设性不信任投票，并提名一位前议长领导一个技术性政府直至举行大选。这场争端根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.
法律与公正党（PiS）在其执政的八年里对该法院进行了重组，这引发了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.
