Le Pen condemns Poland's Constitutional Tribunal crisis, Sikorski tells her not to interfere

The leader of France's far-right National Rally Party, Marine Le Pen, has weighed in on Poland's deepening constitutional tribunal crisis, saying it is cause for profound concern. The contested suspension of the tribunal's president and the intervention of security forces around this institution appear to resemble a forcible takeover of a constitutional body, Le Pen wrote in a post on X. Poland's foreign minister, Radoslaw Sikorski, commented on Le Pen's post, writing also on X, to respect us by not interfering in domestic politics. The dispute over the composition of Poland's top court has fueled an open confrontation with President Karol Nawrocki, who attempted to enter the tribunal building amid a deadlock over the appointment of new judges on Friday night. The opposition has accused Donald Tusk's government of attempting a coup, while the government says it is pushing ahead with long-needed reforms to restore the rule of law after the Law and Justice Party interference in the judiciary.
