Ekeroth: When Tusk Seizes a Court With Riot Police, It's Called the Rule of Law

Last Friday, the president of Poland's Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan Święczkowski, was suspended from his job. Judges loyal to the government were smuggled into the court through a back entrance by the state security service, and riot police locked Święczkowski out of his own workplace. The Swedish press calls this "restoring the rule of law". What it has not told its readers is the crucial part: the EU punished the previous government hard for meddling with the courts, and the new government is now doing the same thing, only worse. The Constitutional Tribunal is Poland's special court for constitutional questions. It rules on whether laws passed by parliament comply with the constitution and can strike down those that do not. Whoever controls the court decides, in practice, which laws stand. That is why the fight over it has raged for ten years.
