Thailand’s embassy in Warsaw issued an urgent security warning on Saturday as Poland’s constitutional crisis erupted into street confrontations. Riot police clashed with protesters, three people were arrested and two senior judges suspended. President Karol Nawrocki abandoned an overseas visit, accusing Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government of seizing the Constitutional Tribunal. Meanwhile, the justice minister sought criminal investigations as a decade-long battle over judicial independence and EU law intensified. With Poland’s president, government and judiciary locked in confrontation, another showdown looms on Tuesday. The Thai Embassy warned 664 Thai nationals living in Poland to avoid Warsaw’s protest areas.

Thailand’s embassy in Warsaw issued an urgent security warning on Saturday as Poland’s constitutional crisis spilt onto the capital’s streets. Riot police confronted protesters outside the Constitutional Tribunal after rival judges claimed control of the country’s highest constitutional court.

Three demonstrators were detained. President Karol Nawrocki abandoned an overseas visit and returned to Poland, accusing the government of seizing the tribunal. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s administration defended its judicial reforms as necessary to restore constitutional legality.

The confrontation has reopened Poland’s bitter dispute over judicial independence and its obligations under European Union law. Hundreds of Thai nationals live and work in the country.

Thai embassy warns nationals to avoid Warsaw protests as official figures identify 664 Thais in Poland

The Royal Thai Embassy issued its warning on Saturday, 31 October, following demonstrations that began on Friday evening. It instructed Thai nationals to avoid protest locations throughout Warsaw, including surrounding streets and nearby areas.

In addition, citizens were advised to monitor announcements from Polish authorities and follow local security instructions. Those requiring emergency assistance were directed to the embassy’s hotline on +48 880 828 312. Thai newspaper Siam Rath reported the announcement at 6.22 pm Thai time on Saturday.

The warning marked a formal diplomatic response to the rapidly escalating confrontation. Thailand’s ambassador to Poland is Sira Swangsilpa, who presented his credentials to President Nawrocki on 27 March 2026.

The embassy operates from Ul. Willowa 7 in Warsaw and provides consular assistance to Thai citizens. Its responsibilities cover workers, residents, students and visitors. The latest disturbances have therefore brought the safety of Thailand’s expatriate community into immediate focus.

According to Thailand’s National Intelligence Agency, 664 Thai nationals were living in Poland in February 2025. Earlier Foreign Ministry records counted 830 in 2024 and 920 in 2019.

However, these figures cover residents generally rather than employees alone. Many Thais work in restaurants, hospitality, traditional massage and spa services. Chefs, cooks and massage therapists feature prominently in earlier official records. Separately, Poland employs substantial numbers of foreign workers across manufacturing, logistics and services. A verified population figure for Thais living specifically in Warsaw has not been established.

Rival judges claim control of Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal as opposition supporters gather outside

The constitutional confrontation intensified on Friday, 30 October, inside Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal. Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska announced the suspension of tribunal president Bogdan Święczkowski and deputy president Bartłomiej Sochański.

Both were suspended for one month amid a dispute over judicial appointments and the court’s membership. Korwin-Piotrowska asserted authority over the institution, accusing its leadership of unlawfully obstructing judges elected by Parliament. Święczkowski rejected the suspension and challenged her power to remove him. As a result, rival groups of judges claimed control of the same constitutional institution.

The confrontation followed months of disagreement over parliamentary appointments and the president’s role in administering judicial oaths. On Friday, judges elected by Parliament entered the tribunal’s headquarters, accompanied by officers from the State Protection Service. Their arrival intensified the struggle over control of the court.

Outside, demonstrators gathered as police established a security perimeter. The protesters included supporters of the opposition Law and Justice party, widely known as PiS. The party governed Poland between 2015 and 2023 and remains closely associated with Nawrocki.

Senior opposition figures joined the demonstration, including PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński and former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. The gathering subsequently became confrontational as protesters challenged the police cordon.

Police detain three protesters as President Nawrocki abandons Senegal visit and confronts court judges

Some breached a security fence, while objects were thrown towards officers. Police detained three people during the disturbances. Riot police remained deployed around the Constitutional Tribunal as tensions continued. Thus, a longstanding judicial dispute had developed into a direct confrontation involving police, protesters and rival constitutional authorities.

The crisis took another dramatic turn when Nawrocki abandoned an official visit to Senegal. The president was already airborne when news of the confrontation reached him. He ordered his aircraft to return to Poland, cancelling the overseas journey. After landing, he met Supreme Court First President Zbigniew Kapiński.

He then travelled to the Constitutional Tribunal, where tensions intensified. Video footage showed Nawrocki pushing past a group of judges while attempting to enter the building.

Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek criticised the president’s conduct and called for prosecutors to examine the incident. In response, Nawrocki maintained that he was defending Poland’s constitutional institutions against an unlawful takeover.

He accused Tusk’s government of forcibly seizing the tribunal. On Saturday, the president declared that Poland’s constitutional order had been violated. He demanded the withdrawal of security forces from the court and summoned parliamentary representatives for urgent consultations. Nawrocki cited threats to Poland’s internal security arising from the confrontation.

Tusk and Nawrocki clash over judicial authority as Poland’s constitutional battle stretches back to 2015

The president’s intervention brought Poland’s highest political offices into direct conflict. Tusk’s government maintains that its judicial reforms are necessary to restore constitutional legality. It accuses the former PiS administration of undermining judicial independence through politically motivated appointments.

By contrast, the opposition argues that Tusk’s coalition is using disputed procedures to seize control of the judiciary. Both sides accuse their opponents of violating the constitution while claiming to defend it. The latest confrontation has therefore become a struggle over which institutions possess lawful authority.

The dispute stretches back to 2015, when the outgoing Civic Platform-led coalition elected five Constitutional Tribunal judges. The tribunal subsequently ruled that only three appointments were legally valid.

The remaining two vacancies had been filled prematurely. After winning power, PiS appointed five replacement judges, including candidates for the three lawfully filled seats. President Andrzej Duda, politically aligned with PiS, accepted the new appointments. However, he refused to administer the oath to the three judges previously elected through the valid procedure.

That decision triggered years of confrontation over the tribunal’s membership, authority and independence. Subsequently, the PiS government introduced further changes affecting judicial appointments, court administration and disciplinary procedures.

Judicial reforms trigger confrontation with European courts over Poland’s obligations under EU law

Critics accused the administration of placing the judiciary under political influence. PiS insisted its reforms were necessary to improve accountability and address longstanding institutional problems. The disagreement spread beyond the Constitutional Tribunal into the wider court system. Eventually, Poland’s judicial changes brought the country into serious conflict with the European Union.

European institutions challenged several reforms, arguing that they undermined judicial independence and European legal obligations. The European Commission launched proceedings concerning Poland’s judicial arrangements.

European courts also questioned aspects of the tribunal’s composition and the legality of judicial appointments. In 2021, the European Court of Human Rights ruled against Poland over a tribunal panel containing a disputed appointee. It concluded that the panel failed to satisfy the requirement for a tribunal established by law.

On another front, disagreements widened over the relationship between Poland’s constitution and European Union law. The dispute produced legal proceedings, financial penalties and growing friction between Warsaw and Brussels.

Poland’s EU membership became central because European law imposes obligations concerning judicial independence. PiS maintained that Poland retained constitutional authority over the organisation of its courts. Accordingly, the confrontation extended beyond domestic appointments into the interpretation and enforcement of European legal obligations.

Tusk’s return to power fails to end tribunal deadlock as new president blocks government court reforms

Donald Tusk returned to power in December 2023, leading a coalition promising to restore judicial independence. His administration sought to reverse changes introduced during eight years of PiS government.

Yet the coalition inherited a Constitutional Tribunal containing judges appointed under the previous administration. The government questioned the legality of several appointments and proposed reforms intended to restore the institution’s legitimacy. President Duda resisted those efforts, including by referring judicial legislation to the Constitutional Tribunal.

At the same time, Tusk’s administration restricted publication of certain tribunal judgments. The government argued that the court’s composition remained legally defective. The tribunal’s leadership rejected that position and insisted its decisions remained binding.

Consequently, Poland entered an extraordinary constitutional deadlock. The government disputed the tribunal’s legitimacy, while the tribunal challenged the government’s treatment of its judgments. Neither institution accepted the other’s interpretation of constitutional authority. The conflict remained unresolved when Nawrocki succeeded Duda as president in August 2025.

Nawrocki had been supported by PiS during the presidential election. He subsequently opposed significant elements of Tusk’s judicial reform programme. The political division became particularly important because Poland’s president possesses substantial constitutional powers.

Presidential veto powers frustrate judicial reforms as four elected judges are denied their court seats

These include the ability to veto legislation passed by Parliament. Although Parliament can override a presidential veto, doing so requires a three-fifths majority under constitutional voting rules. Tusk’s governing coalition lacks that majority. Presidential opposition can therefore obstruct legislation, including measures intended to reform the judiciary.

The dispute intensified in March 2026 when Parliament elected six judges to the Constitutional Tribunal. Nawrocki administered the oath to two appointees but refused to swear in the remaining four.

He questioned the appointment procedure, citing concerns about voting requirements and deadlines. Tusk’s government insisted that Parliament had lawfully elected all six judges. On 9 April, the four disputed appointees took their oaths before a notary in Parliament. The presidential office rejected the procedure, maintaining that judicial oaths had to be administered in the president’s presence.

Tribunal president Święczkowski supported that interpretation and prevented the four judges from participating in hearings. Subsequently, the European Court of Human Rights issued an interim measure concerning obstruction of the appointees.

European legal bodies challenge oath restrictions as tribunal dispute threatens court authority

The Council of Europe’s Venice Commission also maintained that the president’s role in administering judicial oaths should be ceremonial. Nevertheless, the tribunal’s leadership continued disputing the appointments. Further disagreements during October increased pressure on the institution. Friday’s suspension of Święczkowski and Sochański finally brought the confrontation to a head.

The Constitutional Tribunal is one of Poland’s most powerful judicial institutions. It determines whether legislation and other legal measures comply with the country’s constitution. Its decisions can invalidate legislation and restrict government action.

Disputes over its membership therefore directly affect Parliament, the government and the presidency. The court’s composition becomes particularly important when the president and parliamentary majority represent opposing political camps. Furthermore, the tribunal can rule on legislation affecting Poland’s relationship with European Union law.

The present confrontation concerns both domestic constitutional authority and Poland’s European legal obligations. Competing authorities dispute which judges are lawfully entitled to serve. In turn, that disagreement affects the legitimacy of tribunal decisions.

Disputes over the publication and enforcement of judgments also affect the implementation of legislation. Beyond the appointments dispute, the conduct of senior judicial officials has come under direct scrutiny. Justice Minister Żurek has sought to remove judicial immunity from Święczkowski and Sochański, potentially permitting criminal proceedings concerning their conduct.

Judges face possible criminal proceedings as rival factions prepare for another tribunal confrontation

Opposition politicians accuse the government of attempting to criminalise judicial decisions it opposes. Conversely, the government maintains that judicial officials remain accountable for unlawful conduct.

The legality of the leadership suspensions has itself been questioned. Some legal commentators critical of earlier PiS reforms have challenged the legal basis for the latest intervention. The dispute therefore involves competing interpretations of judicial authority, parliamentary appointments and constitutional procedure. Rival factions continue rejecting each other’s claims to control the tribunal.

On Saturday, Święczkowski announced that he and the remaining judges would attempt to regain control of the institution. Korwin-Piotrowska maintained her competing claim to leadership. She has called a General Assembly of tribunal judges for Tuesday, 3 November.

The planned meeting could produce another confrontation over which judges are entitled to participate. In parallel, Nawrocki’s emergency consultations have brought the dispute directly before Poland’s parliamentary leadership. Opposition politicians continue demanding the reinstatement of the suspended tribunal officials. Tusk’s government insists its judicial reform programme must proceed.

The confrontation has also attracted international diplomatic attention. US Ambassador to Poland Tom Rose publicly warned against violence and further escalation. Poland remains a major European Union and NATO member, with an important role in supporting Ukraine.

US envoy warns against violence as Thailand’s embassy urges nationals to avoid Warsaw protest areas

Its judicial confrontation has renewed attention to longstanding disputes with European institutions. For the moment, however, the immediate disturbances remain a domestic constitutional and political confrontation. The reported police operation and arrests centred on the Constitutional Tribunal and surrounding streets in Warsaw.

For Thailand, the immediate concern is the safety of its nationals living and working in Poland. The Royal Thai Embassy’s Saturday warning specifically addressed demonstrations in the capital. It did not announce a nationwide emergency or changes to Polish employment and residence regulations.

Instead, the embassy urged Thai nationals to avoid all protest areas and nearby locations. The instructions apply to residents, workers, students and visitors who could encounter demonstrations or police security operations.

Thailand’s National Intelligence Agency had already identified Poland’s political divisions as a significant concern. In an assessment updated on 28 December 2025, the agency highlighted tensions between Nawrocki and Tusk.

It identified presidential vetoes and disagreements over judicial reform as obstacles to effective government. Separately, the assessment warned about security threats involving Russia and Belarus, including cyberattacks and hostile information operations. Those external concerns were distinct from the domestic constitutional confrontation unfolding in Warsaw.

Thai embassy publishes emergency contacts as Poland braces for another round of court disputes

The agency’s assessment recorded Poland’s political deadlock before Friday’s confrontation. The Thai Embassy’s latest warning placed immediate attention on demonstrations and police activity in the capital.

Thai citizens requiring consular assistance can contact the embassy at Ul. Willowa 7 in Warsaw. Its main telephone number is +48 22 849 2655. The consular section also maintains contact numbers on +48 22 849 6414 and +48 22 849 1406. For emergencies, the designated hotline is +48 880 828 312.

Poland now faces another decisive stage in its constitutional confrontation. Nawrocki’s consultations have brought the dispute directly into the country’s political leadership. Meanwhile, rival tribunal authorities continue rejecting each other’s claims.

The planned judges’ meeting on Tuesday could produce fresh disputes over membership and control. The confrontation has revived unresolved disagreements concerning judicial appointments, presidential powers and constitutional judgments. It has also renewed the conflict over the relationship between Polish courts and European Union law.

More than a decade after the original judicial appointments dispute, the confrontation has reached Warsaw’s streets. Police have detained protesters, the president has abandoned an overseas visit, and senior judges face suspension. Rival political leaders accuse each other of violating Poland’s constitution.

The struggle now involves the president, government, Parliament and the Constitutional Tribunal, with European legal obligations also at issue. For hundreds of Thai nationals living in Poland, the embassy’s security warning remains the immediate official instruction. They have been advised to avoid demonstrations, monitor Polish authorities and contact the embassy’s emergency hotline when necessary.

在生活、媒体、政治、泰国

周六，随着波兰宪政危机演变为街头冲突，泰国驻华沙大使馆发布紧急安全警告。防暴警察与示威者发生冲突，三人被捕，两名高级法官被停职。总统卡罗尔·纳沃茨基取消了出访行程，指责总理唐纳德·图斯克领导的政府控制了宪法法院。与此同时，司法部长要求对相关事件展开刑事调查，这场持续十年的司法独立和欧盟法律之争愈演愈烈。波兰总统、政府和司法部门陷入僵局，周二可能再次爆发冲突。泰国大使馆警告居住在波兰的664名泰国公民避开华沙的抗议区域。

周六，随着波兰宪法危机蔓延至首都华沙街头，泰国驻华沙大使馆发布紧急安全警告。在两名对立的法官声称控制该国最高宪法法院后，防暴警察在宪法法院外与抗议者发生冲突。

三名示威者被拘留。总统卡罗尔·纳沃茨基取消了海外访问行程，返回波兰，并指责政府控制了该法庭。与此同时，总理唐纳德·图斯克领导的政府辩称，其司法改革对于恢复宪法秩序至关重要。

这场冲突再次引发了波兰在司法独立及其欧盟法律义务方面长期存在的激烈争论。数百名泰国公民在波兰生活和工作。

泰国驻波兰大使馆警告本国公民避免前往华沙参加抗议活动，官方数据显示有664名泰国公民身处波兰。

泰国驻华沙大使馆于10月31日星期六发布警告，此前华沙于周五晚间爆发了示威活动。大使馆指示泰国公民避开华沙所有示威地点，包括周边街道和附近区域。

此外，当局建议公民密切关注波兰当局发布的公告，并遵守当地的安全指示。需要紧急援助的人士可拨打大使馆热线电话 +48 880 828 312。泰国《暹罗日报》于周六泰国时间下午6点22分报道了这一公告。

这一警告标志着泰国对迅速升级的对抗做出了正式的外交回应。泰国驻波兰大使是西拉·斯旺西尔帕，他于2026年3月27日向波兰总统纳沃茨基递交了国书。

泰国驻华沙大使馆位于华沙威洛瓦街7号，为泰国公民提供领事协助。其职责范围涵盖在华务工人员、居民、留学生和访客。因此，最近发生的骚乱事件使泰国侨民的安全问题立即成为关注焦点。

根据泰国国家情报局的数据，截至 2025 年 2 月，有 664 名泰国公民居住在波兰。此前，外交部记录显示，2024 年有 830 名泰国公民居住在波兰，2019 年有 920 名泰国公民居住在波兰。

然而，这些数据涵盖的是总体居民，而不仅仅是雇员。许多泰国人在餐厅、酒店、传统按摩和水疗服务行业工作。厨师、烹饪师和按摩师在早期的官方记录中占据显著位置。此外，波兰在制造业、物流和服务业也雇佣了大量外籍劳工。目前尚未有专门居住在华沙的泰国人的确切人口统计数据。

波兰宪法法院两名法官争夺控制权，反对派支持者聚集在法院外。

10月30日星期五，波兰宪法法院内部的宪法冲突进一步升级。法官安娜·科尔温-皮奥特罗夫斯卡宣布暂停法院院长博格丹·希维奇科夫斯基和副院长巴尔托洛梅·索汉斯基的职务。

两人因司法任命和法院成员构成争议而被停职一个月。科尔温-皮奥特罗夫斯卡声称对该机构拥有绝对控制权，指责其领导层非法阻挠议会选举产生的法官。斯维奇科夫斯基则拒绝接受停职处分，并质疑她是否有权将其免职。结果，两个对立的法官团体都声称对同一宪法机构拥有控制权。

此次冲突源于数月来围绕议会任命和总统在法官宣誓仪式中的角色等问题的分歧。周五，由议会选举产生的法官在国家安全局官员的陪同下进入了法庭总部。他们的到来加剧了对法庭控制权的争夺。

在室外，示威者聚集，警方设立了警戒线。抗议者中包括反对党法律与公正党（简称PiS）的支持者。该党在2015年至2023年期间执政波兰，至今仍与纳沃茨基关系密切。

包括法律与公正党（PiS）主席雅罗斯瓦夫·卡钦斯基和前总理马特乌什·莫拉维茨基在内的多位反对派高层人士也加入了示威活动。随后，示威者挑战警方警戒线，集会演变为对抗。

纳沃罗茨基总统取消塞内加尔之行并与法庭法官对峙，警方拘留了三名抗议者。

一些人闯入安全围栏，并向警员投掷物品。骚乱期间，警方拘留了三人。随着紧张局势持续，防暴警察仍部署在宪法法院周围。由此，一场由来已久的司法纠纷演变为警方、抗议者和对立的宪法机构之间的直接冲突。

危机在纳沃茨基取消对塞内加尔的正式访问后出现了又一个戏剧性的转折。总统在飞机起飞后不久便得知了冲突的消息。他下令飞机返回波兰，取消了海外行程。飞机降落后，他会见了最高法院第一院长兹比格涅夫·卡平斯基。

随后他前往宪法法院，那里的紧张局势进一步升级。视频画面显示，纳沃茨基在试图进入大楼时，推搡着一群法官。

司法部长瓦尔德马尔·祖雷克批评了总统的行为，并呼吁检察官对该事件进行调查。对此，纳沃茨基坚称，他是在捍卫波兰的宪政机构，防止其遭到非法接管。

他指责图斯克政府强行占领了法庭。周六，总统宣布波兰的宪法秩序遭到破坏。他要求安全部队撤出法庭，并召集议员进行紧急磋商。纳沃茨基指出，这场冲突对波兰的内部安全构成了威胁。

图斯克和纳沃茨基就司法管辖权问题发生冲突，波兰的宪法之争可以追溯到2015年。

总统的干预使波兰最高政治机构之间产生了直接冲突。图斯克政府坚称，其司法改革对于恢复宪法秩序至关重要。该政府指责前执政党法律与公正党（PiS）政府通过政治任命破坏司法独立。

与之相反，反对派则认为图斯克的联盟正利用有争议的程序来攫取司法控制权。双方都指责对方违反宪法，同时又声称自己是在捍卫宪法。因此，这场最新的冲突已演变为一场关于哪些机构拥有合法权威的斗争。

这场争议可以追溯到2015年，当时即将卸任的公民纲领党领导的联盟选举产生了五名宪法法庭法官。法庭随后裁定，只有三项任命在法律上有效。

剩余的两个空缺席位已被提前填补。执政党法律与公正党（PiS）上台后，任命了五名法官接替原有职位，其中包括三个合法空缺席位的候选人。与法律与公正党政治立场一致的总统安杰伊·杜达接受了这些新任命。然而，他拒绝为此前通过合法程序选举产生的三名法官主持宣誓仪式。

这一决定引发了长达数年的关于该法庭成员构成、权力和独立性的争论。随后，法律与公正党政府又推行了一系列改革，影响了司法任命、法院行政管理和纪律处分程序。

司法改革引发波兰与欧洲法院就其在欧盟法律下的义务产生的冲突

批评人士指责政府将司法置于政治影响之下。法律与公正党（PiS）则坚称，其改革对于提高问责制和解决长期存在的体制问题至关重要。分歧从宪法法院蔓延至更广泛的法院系统。最终，波兰的司法改革使该国与欧盟陷入严重冲突。

欧洲机构对多项改革提出质疑，认为这些改革损害了司法独立和欧洲法律义务。欧盟委员会就波兰的司法安排启动了调查程序。

欧洲法院也对该法庭的组成和司法任命的合法性提出了质疑。2021年，欧洲人权法院裁定波兰败诉，原因是其法庭小组中有一名备受争议的任命人。法院认为，该小组不符合法律规定的法庭设立要求。

另一方面，波兰宪法与欧盟法律之间的关系问题引发的分歧进一步扩大。这场争端导致了法律诉讼、经济处罚，并加剧了华沙和布鲁塞尔之间的摩擦。

波兰的欧盟成员国身份之所以成为焦点，是因为欧盟法律对司法独立提出了要求。法律与公正党（PiS）坚持认为，波兰对其法院的组织架构拥有宪法赋予的权力。因此，双方的对抗不仅局限于国内人事任命，还延伸到了对欧盟法律义务的解释和执行层面。

图斯克重返权力中心未能打破法庭僵局，新总统阻挠政府的法院改革。

唐纳德·图斯克于2023年12月重返政坛，领导的联合政府承诺恢复司法独立。他的政府力图推翻法律与公正党（PiS）执政八年期间推行的各项改革。

然而，联合政府接手的宪法法院法官均由前任政府任命。政府质疑其中几项任命的合法性，并提出旨在恢复该机构合法性的改革方案。杜达总统抵制这些努力，甚至将司法立法提交宪法法院审查。

与此同时，图斯克政府限制了某些法庭判决的公布。政府辩称，法庭的组成在法律上仍存在缺陷。法庭领导层驳斥了这一立场，并坚持认为其裁决仍然具有约束力。

因此，波兰陷入了一场非同寻常的宪政僵局。政府质疑该法院的合法性，而法院则质疑政府对其判决的处理方式。双方均不接受对方对宪法权威的解释。直到2025年8月纳沃茨基接替杜达就任总统时，这场冲突仍未得到解决。

纳沃茨基在总统选举期间得到了法律与公正党（PiS）的支持。随后，他反对图斯克司法改革方案中的诸多重要内容。由于波兰总统拥有相当大的宪法权力，这一政治分歧显得尤为重要。

总统否决权阻碍司法改革，四名民选法官被剥夺了法官席位。

这其中包括否决议会通过的法案的权力。虽然议会可以推翻总统的否决，但根据宪法规定的投票规则，这需要五分之三的多数票。图斯克的执政联盟缺乏这一多数席位。因此，总统的反对派可以阻挠立法，包括旨在改革司法机构的措施。

2026年3月，议会选举六名法官进入宪法法院，争端进一步升级。纳沃茨基为两名被任命者主持了宣誓仪式，但拒绝为其余四名被任命者主持宣誓仪式。

他质疑任命程序，并对投票要求和截止日期表示担忧。图斯克政府坚称议会已合法选举产生全部六名法官。4月9日，四名有争议的任命者在议会公证人面前宣誓就职。总统府拒绝接受这一程序，坚持认为法官宣誓必须在总统在场的情况下进行。

法庭庭长希维奇科夫斯基支持这一解释，并阻止了四名法官参加听证会。随后，欧洲人权法院发布了一项关于阻挠任命人员的临时措施。

欧洲法律机构对宣誓限制提出质疑，法庭争议威胁法院权威。

欧洲委员会威尼斯委员会也坚持认为，主席在主持法官宣誓仪式中的作用应仅限于礼仪层面。尽管如此，法庭领导层仍继续对这些任命提出异议。10月份的进一步分歧加剧了该机构面临的压力。周五，希维奇科夫斯基和索汉斯基被停职，最终使这场对抗达到了白热化阶段。

波兰宪法法院是波兰最具权力的司法机构之一。它负责裁定立法和其他法律措施是否符合国家宪法。其裁决可以宣布立法无效，并限制政府行为。

因此，围绕其成员资格的争议会直接影响议会、政府和总统。当总统和议会多数派代表对立的政治阵营时，法院的组成就显得尤为重要。此外，该法院还可以对影响波兰与欧盟法律关系的立法作出裁决。

当前的冲突既涉及波兰国内的宪法权威，也涉及波兰的欧洲法律义务。各方权威机构就哪些法官有资格担任此职存在争议。反过来，这种分歧又会影响法庭判决的合法性。

判决的公布和执行争议也影响了法律的实施。除了任命争议外，高级司法官员的行为也受到了直接审查。司法部长祖雷克试图取消希维奇科夫斯基和索汉斯基的司法豁免权，这可能意味着将对他们的行为提起刑事诉讼。

法官们可能面临刑事诉讼，因为对立派系正准备进行另一次法庭对抗。

反对派政客指责政府试图将他们反对的司法判决定为犯罪。而政府则坚称，司法官员仍须为其违法行为承担责任。

领导层停职的合法性本身就受到了质疑。一些批评法律与公正党（PiS）此前改革的法律评论员对最新干预措施的法律依据提出了质疑。因此，这场争议涉及对司法权力、议会任命和宪法程序的不同解读。各派系继续互相否认对方对法院的控制权。

周六，希维奇科夫斯基宣布，他和其他几位法官将试图重新夺回法院的控制权。科尔温-皮奥特罗夫斯卡则继续声称自己是法院的领导者。她已召集法院法官于11月3日（周二）召开全体大会。

计划中的会议可能会引发另一场关于哪些法官有权参与的争论。与此同时，纳沃茨基的紧急磋商已将这场争端直接摆在了波兰议会领导层面前。反对派政客继续要求恢复被停职的法庭官员的职务。图斯克政府则坚持其司法改革计划必须继续推进。

此次冲突也引起了国际外交界的关注。美国驻波兰大使汤姆·罗斯公开警告不要诉诸暴力和进一步升级局势。波兰仍然是欧盟和北约的重要成员国，在支持乌克兰方面发挥着重要作用。

美国特使警告民众避免暴力行为，泰国大使馆敦促其公民避开华沙抗议区域。

这场司法冲突再次引发了人们对华沙与欧洲机构之间长期争端的关注。然而，就目前而言，眼前的动荡仍是一场国内的宪法和政治冲突。据报道，警方的行动和逮捕行动主要集中在华沙宪法法院及其周边街道。

对泰国而言，眼下最紧迫的问题是居住和工作在波兰的泰国公民的安全。泰国驻波兰大使馆周六发布的警告主要针对首都的示威活动，并未宣布全国进入紧急状态，也未提及波兰的就业和居留法规有任何变更。

相反，大使馆敦促泰国公民避开所有抗议区域及其附近地点。该指示适用于可能遇到示威活动或警方安保行动的居民、工作人员、学生和游客。

泰国国家情报局此前已将波兰的政治分裂列为重大隐患。在2025年12月28日更新的一份评估报告中，该机构重点强调了纳沃茨基和图斯克之间的紧张关系。

报告指出，总统否决权和司法改革分歧是有效政府运作的障碍。此外，评估报告还警告称，涉及俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的安全威胁，包括网络攻击和敌对信息战。这些外部担忧与华沙正在上演的国内宪政冲突截然不同。

该机构的评估记录了波兰在周五冲突爆发前的政治僵局。泰国大使馆的最新警告则立即将人们的注意力引向首都的示威活动和警方行动。

需要领事协助的泰国公民可联系位于华沙威洛瓦街7号的泰国大使馆。大使馆总机号码为+48 22 849 2655。领事处另设联系电话+48 22 849 6414和+48 22 849 1406。紧急情况下，请拨打指定热线电话+48 880 828 312。

波兰的宪法之争如今又进入了关键阶段。纳沃茨基的磋商已将这场争端直接带到了国家政治领导层。与此同时，对立的仲裁机构仍在继续驳回对方的诉求。

计划于周二举行的法官会议可能会引发关于法官资格和控制权的新一轮争论。此次冲突重新激化了此前在司法任命、总统权力以及宪法判决等方面悬而未决的分歧，也再次引发了波兰法院与欧盟法律之间关系的争议。

十多年后，最初的司法任命争议升级，冲突蔓延至华沙街头。警方拘留了抗议者，总统取消了出访计划，资深法官面临停职。对立的政治领导人互相指责对方违反波兰宪法。

这场斗争如今已牵涉到总统、政府、议会和宪法法院，欧洲的法律义务也成为争议焦点。对于数百名居住在波兰的泰国公民而言，大使馆的安全警告仍然是他们目前必须遵循的官方指示。他们被告知要避免参加示威活动，密切关注波兰当局的动向，并在必要时联系大使馆的紧急热线。
