Leaders of political parties debated the constitutional crisis

Representatives of the eight main political parties met in the Sejm to talk about the possible ways of overcoming the constitutional deadlock in which Poland has found itself in the last months. "I have good news for you. Political dialogue has commenced. It was a conversation and not war. Of course there are differences in opinion, but in matters related to Polish national interests, we agreed that these interests should not be violated in any way," said Jarosław Kaczyński, head of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS). Ryszard Petru, the chairman of the Nowoczesna party claimed that Jarosław Kaczyński has agreed to drop some of the clauses of the Constitutional Tribunal law passed in December and include certain prescriptions made by the Venice Commission. “It is important that there is light at the end of the tunnel, and it is important that we work together to find a solution to this situation,” he added. Grzegorz Schetyna, the head of Civic Platform (PO) wasn't as optimistic. He said that “nothing was agreed, and the parties maintained their [previous] standpoints.” Agnieszka Dziemianowicz-Bąk, from the extra-parliamentary Razem party,  called the meeting a farce and said that Kaczyński hasn't declared that the Constitutional Tribunal ruling from March 9 will be published.
