THE WAR OVER THE CONSTITUTIONAL TRIBUNAL

Since 2015, Poland has become one of the main arenas of conflict between democratically legitimized national authority and globalist political-institutional elites concentrated in Brussels, Luxembourg, and parts of Western capitals. This dispute is not merely about technical legal issues; it is fundamentally political and constitutional in nature. At stake is who exercises real power in the state—the sovereign, meaning the nation expressing its will through democratic elections, or the Brussels bureaucracy, which uses financial pressure and juristocracy—liberal judges from European courts and their law-making jurisprudence—to circumvent democracy and the treaties themselves. Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal has become a central target of this conflict because, as the guardian of the Constitution and the state’s legal sovereignty, it blocked both earlier attempts by Brussels and Luxembourg to impose solutions on Poland that were contrary to the Polish Constitution, the will of the voters, and the European treaties, as well as the current unlawful actions of Donald Tusk’s leftliberal government, installed with the active support of the Brussels bureaucracy. The CJEU judgment of 18 December 2025 represents a qualitative escalation of this conflict: for the first time, an EU court openly challenged the status of a constitutional body of a Member State, while additionally usurping the role of a “court of last resort” standing above national constitutions. The CJEU judgment constitutes not only a violation of the treaties and an undermining of the principles on which the European Union is built, but is additionally based on false factual findings and erroneous interpretations of the Polish legal order.

 The model applied to Poland is precedent-setting and exportable. Similar mechanisms of legal and political pressure are being used against Hungary, and the globalist opposition in Budapest openly announces its intention to implement the “Polish scenario.” In practice, this scenario means undermining constitutional institutions, the instrumental use of European courts, and the full subordination of the state to the interests of the decision-making center in Brussels. This is accompanied by unlawful actions affecting tens of thousands of citizens, the failure to deliver on electoral promises, a collapse of public finances, and the breakdown of the healthcare system. The dispute over the Constitutional Tribunal is therefore not a local conflict, but part of a broader struggle over the future sovereignty of Central European states.
