MPs from across Europe give Polish Constitutional Tribunal the red card

News type: EPF in the media  |  Post date: 05/11/2021

In a show of defiance that caught the eye of the media, EPF brought a delegation of MPs from across Europe to the Polish Constitutional Tribunal on a day that marked a year since that body severely restricted Polish women's rights to abortion. The delegation held up red cards to show their disapproval of the restrictions in reproductive rights.

The Tribunal remains a controversial body in Poland since the ruling coalition reconstituted the court in dubious circumstances in order to favour its own ideological aims. This is a key factor in Poland's current rule of law crisis.

The protest and EPF's conference in general garnered coverage from several outlets in Poland including Wysokie Obcasy, Cowzdrowiu, Do Rzecz and the rolling news channel, tvn24.
