Zbigniew Bogucki announced that the reaction of the President of the Republic of Poland will be decisive and symmetrical. He claimed that President Nawrocki is ready for various scenarios, including an attempt to forcibly enter the Constitutional Tribunal and remove Bogdan Święczkowski from it. Bogucki ruled out a compromise with the current authorities and questioned why it would be necessary to negotiate with individuals who, as he claimed, commit crimes. He also called for the presentation of documents confirming that Berek has the required experience and actually performed the work, rather than merely being listed as a legal advisor. As support for this doubt, he cited two opinions, including that of Prof. Piotrowski, and a statement by Prof. Grabowska on one of the television stations. He emphasized that this is the position of recognized constitutionalists, and not just his or President Nawrocki's, and stated that the ruling authorities do not have the required documents. #Polska #Prawo #TrybunałKonstytucyjny (translated)

Dr. Chmiel wrote that Berek's entrance to the Tribunal cost several million zlotys from taxpayers' pockets. He claimed that today's police actions in Warsaw, involving hundreds of officers and police cars, incurred additional million costs and were meant to enable the appointment of "their" people to the Tribunal. About the author of these actions, he wrote that he had gone insane. https://t.co/i9FQ3QHo2t #Polska #Trybunał #Policja (translated)

Prime Minister Donald Tusk emphasized on Wednesday that the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal were appointed in accordance with the law, and President Nawrocki, by refusing to accept the oath from, among others, Berek, is "abdicating" from the duties imposed on him by the constitution. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #JarosławKaczyński #protest (translated)

Jarosław Kaczyński criticized the appointment of Maciej Berek to the Constitutional Tribunal, claiming that the institution works in favor of Donald Tusk, and emphasized the importance of the upcoming demonstration in defense of the Tribunal. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #JarosławKaczyński #protest (translated)

The head of the KPRP, Zbigniew Bogucki, indicated that the lack of additional documentation confirming Berek's performance of the duties of legal advisor for ten years is the reason why the president is withholding acceptance of his oath. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #KryzysPrawny #Sędziowie (translated)

Piotr Kusznieruk criticized the involvement of the prosecutor, police officers, and the expert who— as he wrote— appeared that day at the Constitutional Tribunal to secure the monitoring and documents. He pointed out that the technical copying of the recordings could have been carried out by police officers and specialists, and he assessed the scale of mobilization as serving a political order related to the Berek conflict. Kusznieruk stated that he would expect similar determination in investigating the death of little Kacper in the hospital in Grodzisk Mazowiecki. He wrote that the investigation is already ongoing, and efficient arrangements, thorough examination of negligence, and accountability are needed. He added that cases concerning the death of a child should mobilize the state at least as strongly as the conflict surrounding Berek. #Polityka #Sprawiedliwość #Śledztwo (translated)

Zbigniew Bogucki criticized the way Prime Minister Donald Tusk, Berek, and Kierwiński treated the protesters in front of the Constitutional Tribunal. He accused the rulers of contempt and arrogance, and compared Tusk's words, in terms of language, to messages from a distant past. Bogucki thanked the demonstrators who — as he wrote — had been peacefully protesting in front of the Tribunal around the clock for many days, seven days a week. He described them as a counterbalance to the lawlessness he attributed to Tusk and Berek, and accused the Prime Minister of using unpleasant terms toward them. He also referred to a statement from Kierwiński, who reportedly called the protesters an offensive term associated with PiS. Bogucki wrote that politicians elected by the citizens should not speak this way about people they disagree with. He emphasized that the sovereign is the citizens of the Republic, not the members of the government. #Protest #Suwerenność #Polska (translated)

The spokesperson for the President of the Republic of Poland, Rafał Leśkiewicz, said on Republic TV that the president had warned the government against unlawful actions towards the Constitutional Tribunal and attempts to forcibly take over this body. He announced that such actions would be met with a decisive reaction from the president, who—as he stated—has an obligation to respond to violations of the law. Leśkiewicz stated that the rule of law means adhering to the Constitution and laws, which the government and the prime minister are obliged to do. He accused the ruling party of looking for legal loopholes and alternative interpretations of regulations, adding that if they do not understand them, they should stop governing. He also said that individuals claiming to be judges of the Constitutional Tribunal are not, because they have not taken an oath before the president. In the case of some individuals, as he pointed out, there is a dispute before the Tribunal between the president and the speaker of the Sejm, arising from Article 189 of the Constitution. Leśkiewicz further claimed that Minister Berek does not meet the formal requirements to hold the position of a judge of the Tribunal, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk knows this or pretends not to know. He emphasized that the Polish people have the right to expect the highest qualifications from the Tribunal's judges. Regarding security and the blocking of illegal content on the internet, Leśkiewicz pointed to law enforcement and special services operating in Poland and to the anti-terrorism law, which he claimed would be in effect from 2024. He noted that the authorities on one hand talk about the need for a law to block illegal content, while on the other hand inform about their blocking. He claimed that the existing regulations already allow for the effective blocking of such content. He added that the government is responsible for ensuring security in Poland. In the matter of ambassadors, Leśkiewicz appealed for a solution to the problem so that Polish ambassadors could represent the country in their posts. He assessed that a conversation with Prime Minister Tusk is needed, not with Minister Sikorski, and said that the appointment of ambassadors in nearly 50 countries depends on the prime minister. #Praworządność #Konstytucja #Polska (translated)
