Crucial discussions are underway today regarding the Constitutional Tribunal, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk and President Karol Nawrocki scheduled to meet to address the institution's future. The Tribunal itself is attempting to find a way to function, with debates arising over the necessary number of judges for its General Assembly. Minister of Justice Waldemar Żurek has reportedly stated that a quorum might not be needed for certain decisions.
These high-level talks come as a new poll suggests that the ruling "15 October Coalition" could lose power in upcoming elections, indicating a potential shift in the political landscape. Meanwhile, an investigation into alleged fraud and billion-zloty losses at Grupa Azoty has surfaced, with some suggesting it could be a larger scandal than a previous one at Orlen. The President has also convened a National Security Council meeting today, with Prime Minister Tusk confirming his attendance.
Further domestic developments include the presence of GROM special forces and police on the northeastern border with Russia, and a collision involving a chemical truck in Strzelno that led to school closures. On a positive note, there is record interest in Poland's military and arms industry, offering high earning potential for employees.
