During the Saturday demonstration in front of the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw, Paweł Szefernaker, head of the President's Office, accused Donald Tusk's government of attempting to take over independent state institutions, emphasizing that President Karol Nawrocki will defend the Constitution. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #PawełSzefernaker #KarolNawrocki (translated)

The Chief of the Cabinet of the President of Poland, Paweł Szefernaker, thanked those gathered in front of the Constitutional Tribunal for their presence and courage, stating that they showed how important the Tribunal's matter is for Poland. He reminded that President Karol Nawrocki announced the defense of the Constitution against actions of state bodies and institutions that do not respect it. He added that respecting it also requires citizens' engagement. Szefernaker accused Donald Tusk’s government of destroying the foundations of the Republic and the national community for the past three years and attempting to appropriate state institutions and utilize them in political struggles. He claimed that the government’s aim is not to lower the prices of fuel, electricity, pellets, or coal for the winter, to develop the state, or to build the largest airport in this part of Europe, but to take full control over independent institutions. Referring to Karol Nawrocki's campaign in 2025, Szefernaker stated that his camp won despite attacks from the state apparatus, the withdrawal of campaign funds, and pressure. He added that they could not break their spirit, and their hope was Poland. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #Konstytucja #Polska (translated)

Zbigniew Bogucki wrote that Minister Paweł Szefernaker, head of the Cabinet of the President of Poland Karol Nawrocki, spoke during a demonstration in defense of the independence of the Constitutional Tribunal. Szefernaker conveyed thanks to the participants on behalf of the president and stated that Nawrocki intends to uphold the Constitution. Szefernaker accused Donald Tusk's government of destroying the foundations of the state and attempting to subordinate independent institutions to itself. He cited media reports about a team in the Office of the Prime Minister that had prepared 50 cases for the Tribunal in the event of it being taken over by Tusk's people. He also assessed that after taking over public television and the prosecutor's office, the government may seek to take control of the Tribunal, and subsequently the National Bank of Poland, undermining the president's status. The minister pointed out that during Karol Nawrocki's campaign in 2025, his supporters won despite — as he said — pressure and attacks from the state apparatus. In conclusion, he once again thanked the participants of the demonstration for defending the independence of the Tribunal. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #Konstytucja #Polska (translated)

The Ombudsman, Ángel Gabilondo, has presented a controversial appeal regarding the grandchildren's law, which has raised questions about the legality of his actions and the legitimacy of such a request in the context of ongoing legal proceedings. #DefensordelPueblo #LeyDeNietos #RecursodeAmparo (translated)

In an unusual amparo resource submitted on the night of this Friday, Ángel Gabilondo requests from the TC that precautionary measure (without hearing from any party) for the suspension of the decisions of the Supreme Court made in a proceeding still ongoing and that can be reviewed at any moment. #DerechoAlVoto #LeyDeNietos #TribunalConstitucional (translated)

The Ombudsman, Ángel Gabilondo, has urgently requested the Constitutional Court to suspend the decisions of the Supreme Court that prevent 160,020 naturalized individuals from voting thanks to the 'grandchildren's law,' arguing that their exclusion is due to administrative inefficiency. #DerechoAlVoto #LeyDeNietos #TribunalConstitucional (translated)

"The right to vote of all Spaniards is not a disputed matter: it is a constitutional obviousness. 'The exclusion of Spanish nationality from those who adhered to the Instruction is a disputed matter, sub judice, there is no ruling,' argues Gabilondo in the document, firmly contrasting that 'the right to vote of all Spaniards is not a disputed matter: it is a constitutional obviousness.'" #LeyDeNietos #DerechoAlVoto #DefensorDelPueblo (translated)

María Jamardo stated that any Spanish citizen, group, civil society entity, or political party could approach the Ombudsman to ask for the defense of their interests as voters and their right to participate in the elections on November 29 with a reliable electoral roll, comprised only of those who should be listed on it. She asserted that if Ángel Gabilondo acted at the request of 180,000 presumably affected individuals, he would be even more justified in doing so on behalf of the 36,000,000 who, according to her, could be affected if measures were not taken. She also questioned whether the Ombudsman was defending Sánchez and the party for which he ran as head of the list in the 2021 Madrid regional elections. #DefensorDelPueblo #DerechosCiviles #ParticipaciónCiudadana (translated)

Jacek turned to Krzysztof Stanowski and Małecki, asking about the existence of both the road lane department and the department that controls this lane. He wrote that directors, deputies, managers, inspectors, and secretaries were supposed to work in each of them, and there were also supposed to be offices and benefits. He linked this extensive structure to a million-dollar penalty for the entrepreneur. #prawodrogowe #transport #biznes (translated)

María Jamardo stated that Sánchez had implicated the Ombudsman in a political dispute over the grandchild law, which, as she wrote, would force Conde-Pumpido to speak out.

She said she was developing the issue in El Debate. #Política #Gobierno #Derechos (translated)

Ángel Gabilondo has made this decision after "receiving various requests for protection appeals before the Constitutional Court from individuals and entities," and after "analyzing" the decision of the Contentious-Administrative Chamber of the Supreme Court last Monday, October 12, when it confirmed the suspension of voting for naturalized citizens under the aforementioned Law, so that they can, if they wish, exercise their right to active suffrage in the upcoming general elections. #LeyDeMemoriaDemocrática #DerechoAlVoto #DefensorDelPueblo (translated)
