WARSAW - Poland’s highest constitutional court is to scrutinize a European pact on violence against women, the prime minister said on Thursday, after a cabinet member said Warsaw should quit the treaty which the nationalist government considers too liberal.
“I’ve decided to ask the Constitutional Tribunal to examine whether the convention is in line with the Polish constitution,” Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told a news conference. Earlier this week, Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro asked the Labour Ministry to begin withdrawing Poland from the treaty.
In a statement earlier this week, Marija Pejcinovic Buric, head of the Council of Europe - the continent’s main human rights watchdog - said Poland’s withdrawal from its convention against women’s violence would a major backward step.
