This decision was commented on by former Speaker of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia.
“The Sejm has elected six judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. If the President intends to take the oath from two of them, they should take it because they are judges independent of political constellations, and not – as was the case – politicians who pretend to be independent judges. After the President's decision regarding the remaining four judges is announced, what should be done should be done. And he should be applauded if, in accordance with the law, he also takes the oath from them. And if he does not take it, he should be held accountable for it. and repair the consequences of his inaction,” he wrote on X.
Another politician of Poland 2050, Jan Szyszko, secretary of state at the Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy, joined the conversation. “The big failure of our public debate is that people like Trela can write whatever they want and about whom they want and no one pays attention to it, because their unobtrusive intellect has somehow been considered a permanent element of Polish politics. Like snow in winter,” wrote the politician.
Szymon Hołownia reacted to this conversation. “When it comes to MP Trela, I follow a simple rule from the first time I meet him: I don't expect much – I've never been disappointed. He's not the sharpest crayon in the Sejm pencil case,” said the former Speaker of the Sejm.
The Sejm elected judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. Karol Nawrocki takes the oath
From the day of the election of the six judges, the Sejm held a political tug of war between the ruling coalition and the Presidential Palace. The applicable regulations state that judges take an oath before the president before taking up work at the Constitutional Tribunal.
The president's entourage raised procedural doubts regarding the choice made by the Sejm. In turn, Minister of Justice Waldemar Żurek announced that he had a “plan B” if the president did not take the oath of office from the new judges. There was information that the oath would be taken by the Speaker of the Sejm, Włodzimierz Czarzasty.
During Karol Nawrocki's visit to the USA, his spokesman, Rafał Leśkiewicz, announced that the head of state would make a decision on the judges after returning from the USA. The president decided to take the oath of office from two judges.
