In Poland, against the backdrop of an escalating political crisis surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal, the opposition has demanded a vote of no confidence against the cabinet of Prime Minister Donald Tusk. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing the politician's page on the social network X, this was stated by former Polish Prime Minister and leader of the new political association 'Development Plus', Mateusz Morawiecki. His statements came as a tense situation involving police and protesters has persisted for several days around the courthouse building in Warsaw.
Demand for a Vote of No Confidence
According to Morawiecki, the current coalition must be dismissed through a vote of no confidence procedure. The politician severely criticized the current government's performance, calling its rule 'catastrophic'. 'Their place is in the dustbin of history and before independent courts as defendants,' he stated, emphasizing that the end of the current cabinet's term should serve merely as a starting point for developing a concrete plan aimed at preventing similar political crises in the future.
Marek Jurek's Technical Government
Along with the demand for resignation, Morawiecki proposed a specific scenario for governing the country during the transitional period: forming a technical government led by Marek Jurek. According to the initiator's plan, such a cabinet should govern Poland until elections for a new parliamentary majority are held, thus performing an interim management function without the participation of current political forces responsible for the current crisis.
'Reboot' of the Constitutional Tribunal
A separate point in Morawiecki's position was the need for the so-called 'reboot' of the Constitutional Tribunal. The politician stated that this idea, in his opinion, finds support among various political forces — from 'Razem' and 'Development Plus' to 'Confederation'. Thus, he attempts to present the initiative as consensual, extending beyond a single party or bloc.
Escalation Around the Tribunal on October 30–31
Morawiecki's statements came amid a sharp escalation of the conflict surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal. On October 30, police blocked the institution's building in Warsaw, and its leadership was suspended from office; clashes broke out between security forces and protesters near the court. Already on the night of October 31, Polish President Karol Nawrocki reportedly forced his way into the Constitutional Tribunal building, which is controlled by police and judges elected by the current Sejm.
The combination of the demand for a vote of no confidence, the proposal for a technical government, and the call for tribunal reform forms a comprehensive crisis-exit program for the opposition. At the same time, the initiative currently remains the statement of a single political leader rather than a formal parliamentary step, which determines the nature and status of the published information.
