華沙，11月2日（路透社）—— 上週末，圍繞波蘭憲法法庭法官任命爆發的危機，使該國民族主義總統與親歐政府之間醞釀已久的衝突，升高為公開對抗。WARSAW, Nov 2 (Reuters) - A crisis over the appointment of judges to Poland's Constitutional Tribunal over the weekend has pushed a simmering conflict between the country's nationalist president and the pro-European government into open confrontation.

這場危機在未來數天或數週如何發展，可能對明年的國會選舉產生重大影響，並可能使波蘭更靠近美國總統唐納・川普（Donald Trump），遠離歐洲主流。How it plays out over the coming days or weeks could have a significant impact on next year's parliamentary election and potentially push Poland closer to US President Donald Trump and away from the European mainstream.

上週，與總統卡羅爾・納夫羅茨基（Karol Nawrocki）所屬民族主義陣營結盟的憲法法庭庭長遭停職，群眾聚集在法院外聲援他，緊張情勢達到高點。Tensions came to a head last week when the president of the Constitutional Tribunal, allied with President Karol Nawrocki's nationalists, was suspended and crowds gathered outside the court in support of him.

事件如何開始？HOW DID IT START?

這場爭端可追溯至2015年，當時執政的民族主義政黨法律與公正黨（Law and Justice, PiS）試圖任命憲法法庭法官，填補先前政府已任命人選的席位。The dispute dates back to 2015, when the then-ruling nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party sought to appoint Constitutional Tribunal judges to seats already filled by the previous government.

該黨提名的人選取得多數席次，而國內外批評人士則主張，該法院已不再符合依法設立的獨立與公正法庭標準。Its nominees gained a majority, while critics at home and abroad argued that the court no longer met the standards of an independent and impartial tribunal established by law.

總理唐納・圖斯克（Donald Tusk）的聯合政府在2023年上台後，承諾恢復法治並改革該法院。不過，2025年當選總統、為PiS盟友的納夫羅茨基，阻擋了其中部分努力。After Prime Minister Donald Tusk's coalition took office in 2023, it pledged to restore the rule of law and reform the court. However, Nawrocki, a PiS ally who was elected president in 2025, has blocked some of those efforts.

今年稍早，納夫羅茨基拒絕為國會多數派提名的數名法官主持宣誓；憲法法庭庭長博格丹・希維奇科夫斯基則拒絕讓新任法官進入法院。Earlier this year, Nawrocki refused to swear in several judges nominated by the parliamentary majority, while Constitutional Tribunal President Bogdan Swieczkowski denied the new judges access to the court.

上週發生了什麼？WHAT HAPPENED LAST WEEK?

上週五，納夫羅茨基正前往非洲進行正式訪問時，憲法法庭網站出現一份聲明，稱任職最久的法官安娜・科爾溫-皮奧特羅夫斯卡（Anna Korwin-Piotrowska）已停職希維奇科夫斯基並接掌職務。納夫羅茨基隨即突然決定改變行程，飛回國內。While heading to Africa on an official visit last Friday, Nawrocki suddenly decided to reverse course and fly home after a statement appeared on the tribunal's website saying its longest-serving judge, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, had suspended Swieczkowski and had taken charge.

自週五下午起，警方一直在法院戒備；同時，數百名抗議者要求讓希維奇科夫斯基復職。Police have been guarding the court since Friday afternoon, while several hundred protesters have demanded Swieczkowski's reinstatement.

納夫羅茨基回到華沙後，連夜會見資深法官，並於週六會晤政治領袖，指控政府策動強行接管憲法法庭。Once back in Warsaw, Nawrocki met senior judges overnight and political leaders on Saturday, accusing the government of staging a forced takeover of the tribunal.

圖斯克週六在電視演說中表示，該法院現在將獨立運作，並符合波蘭憲法。Tusk said in a televised address on Saturday that the court would now function independently and in line with Poland's constitution.

接下來可能發生什麼？WHAT COULD HAPPEN NEXT?

由科爾溫-皮奧特羅夫斯卡主持的憲法法庭法官大會預定週二舉行，但能否作出決定，將取決於能否取得全院15名法官中10人的法定人數。A general assembly of Constitutional Tribunal judges chaired by Korwin-Piotrowska is scheduled for Tuesday, but its ability to make decisions will depend on securing a quorum of 10 of the court's 15 judges.

最新事件發生在波蘭下屆國會選舉前一年。屆時，圖斯克的親歐聯盟將面對數個支持總統立場的強硬右翼政黨。The latest events took place a year before Poland's next parliamentary election, when Tusk's pro-European coalition will face several hard-right parties who support the president's position.

一些政治觀察人士表示，任何進一步升高的情勢，都可能在投票前激發雙方選民動員。Some political observers say any further escalation could galvanise voters on both sides ahead of the vote.

但圍繞憲法法庭的衝突，也顯示政治光譜中原本分裂的強硬右翼陣營正在集結，使圖斯克面臨更大的選舉挑戰。But the conflict over the tribunal has also shown the fragmented hard-right section of the political spectrum coming together, increasing the election challenge for Tusk.

華沙大學（Warsaw University）政治學者安娜・馬特斯卡-索斯諾夫斯卡（Anna Materska-Sosnowska）表示：「這不是關於憲法法庭的衝突，而是一切都岌岌可危。」"It's not a conflict about the tribunal, everything is at stake," political scientist Anna Materska-Sosnowska from Warsaw University said.

這對波蘭與歐盟及美國的關係意味著什麼？WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR POLAND'S TIES WITH THE EU AND THE US?

圖斯克所屬的公民聯盟（Civic Coalition）在民調中領先，但可能難以組成執政多數。Tusk's Civic Coalition party is ahead in polls but may struggle to form a ruling majority.

如果圖斯克明年失去政權，波蘭很可能會更靠近川普政府，因為該國強硬右翼與這位美國總統共享許多保守價值。Poland would likely shift closer to the Trump administration if Tusk loses power next year, as the country's hard right shares many of the US president's conservative values.

川普任命的美國駐華沙大使湯姆・羅斯（Tom Rose）在X上表示，他無權干涉波蘭內政，但對波蘭的穩定、安全與民主未來表達關切。The US ambassador in Warsaw, Tom Rose, a Trump appointee, said on X it was not his place to interfere in Poland's internal affairs but expressed concern for its stability, security and democratic future.

歐盟執委會（European Commission）週六表示，正密切關注事態發展，波蘭當局必須確保憲法法庭能依照憲法與歐盟法律運作。The European Commission said on Saturday it was closely monitoring developments and that Polish authorities must ensure the tribunal can function in accordance with the constitution and EU law.

在2015年至2023年由民族主義的PiS領導政府期間，歐盟曾暫扣應撥給波蘭的數十億歐元資金，稱其司法改革破壞了民主制衡。The EU withheld billions of euros in funds to Poland during the nationalist PiS-led governments of 2015 to 2023, saying their judiciary reforms had subverted democratic checks and balances.

波蘭與圖斯克政府的關係則順暢許多，撥給波蘭的資金也恢復流入。Relations with the Tusk administration have been much smoother and the flow of funds to Poland resumed.

波蘭銀行PKO BP的經濟學家週一在一份報告中表示，若爭端拖延，可能提高制度風險，並拖累外界對波蘭信用品質的評估。A prolonged dispute could raise institutional risks and weigh on assessments of Poland's creditworthiness, economists at Polish bank PKO BP said in a report on Monday.

信評機構先前曾表示，圖斯克與納夫羅茨基在一系列議題上的政治僵局，正損害波蘭的信用概況。Rating agencies have previously said the political gridlock between Tusk and Nawrocki on a range of issues was hurting Poland's credit profile.
