Boycott by opposition groups

The Left and the Civic Coalition have said they will not take part, according to RMF FM. (Pałac Prezydencki zaprasza na rozmowy o Trybunale Konstytucyjnym. Nie wszyscy się zjawią – Onet) Leśkiewicz dismissed the Left's stance, saying the party's leader Włodzimierz Czarzasty carries a post-communist legacy. Reports also say not all groups will attend, and an invitation was extended to the Senate club Nowa Polska-Centrum. (Nie wszyscy chcą rozmawiać z Nawrockim.

The dispute behind the talks

Leśkiewicz described events at the Tribunal from a few weeks earlier as an attack on the constitution that undermines the foundations of Polish democracy, and called for a pause. He said the aim of Monday's meeting is to discuss options and scenarios for resolving the situation. The presidential side has not presented a detailed proposal yet.

As of Thursday, the presidential office expressed hope that the invitations would be accepted. Whether the talks produce any agreement remains open.
