Dariusz Mazur accused President Nawrocki and Zbigniew Bogucki of scaring the Polish people. He wrote that the president demonstratively canceled his participation in a meeting with other EU state leaders, and Bogucki insulted Polish security service officers. He assessed that it was a party game that served no good purpose. Mazur stated that nothing wrong was happening in the Constitutional Tribunal, and the judges chosen by the Sejm to replace those whose terms had expired wanted to begin work in accordance with the Constitution. He wrote that Nawrocki accused Judge Berko of political involvement while simultaneously meeting in the Tribunal with Bogdan Święczkowski, whom he described as a friend of Zbigniew Ziobro and a former PiS candidate for the Sejm. He added that the presence of Stanisław Piotrowicz, a former prosecutor and PZPR activist, did not bother the president, who — according to Mazur — had ended up there directly from the parliamentary benches. Mazur wrote that the president did not have the authority under the current Constitution to control the selection of judges made by the Sejm. He also accused Bogucki of hypocrisy in his statements about the independence of the Tribunal and stated that his record from the time of PiS's rule was well known. The author referred to two judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, which — as he wrote — assessed that the consequence of the reforms referred to as "good change" was the Tribunal's loss of characteristics of an independent and impartial court within the meaning of Article 6 of the ECHR. He added that the Tribunal ceased to be the guardian of the Constitution and became a tool of a particular political option, while Bogucki had no problem deceiving the Polish people. #polityka #Trybunał #Konstytucja (translated)

The author of the entry accused Horała of assessing the case of Maciej Berek's election to the Constitutional Tribunal without a full analysis of the regulations. He referred to Article 194, paragraph 1 of the Constitution, which — as he wrote — assigns the election of TC judges to the Sejm, and Article 4 of the law, which regulates the taking of the oath but does not give the president the right to approve or annul the election. On this basis, he concluded that Berek is a TC judge. The author admitted that the law provides for the oath to be taken before the president, but questioned whether refusal or failure to designate a date could indefinitely block the commencement of office by a person elected by the Sejm. He also pointed to ruling K 34/15, which, according to him, required the oath to be taken without delay, except in exceptional, objective circumstances. At the same time, he noted that the effectiveness of Berek's oath in the presence of the Speaker of the Sejm remains a matter of interpretative dispute. However, he deemed it unacceptable to present presidential inaction as an unlimited constitutional authority. The author called on Horała to present a full analysis of Berek's qualifications and documents confirming his professional experience, referring to the allegation of failing to meet the conditions from Article 3 of the law. He also asked whether the support declared by Horała for the president in this dispute could be reconciled with the postulate of TC independence, emphasizing that — as he wrote — the Constitution binds both the Sejm and the president. #Konstytucja #SądRejonowy #Prawo (translated)

WolnośćTV published an exchange in which they asked Ewa Zajączkowska whether Konrad Berkowicz's statement about Justyna Dobrosz-Oracz was scandalous. Zajączkowska replied that Berkowicz used an offensive term against the journalist suggesting corruption in media work and considered her a disgrace to the journalism environment. When asked if such words crossed any boundaries, Zajączkowska pointed to the insults directed at the president and herself. She stated that she had been insulted with terms regarding her intelligence and the fatherhood of her child.

He reported that Wysocka-Schnepf said that some of them feel worse because women are better educated, braver, and more enterprising. Chrzanik criticized this interpretation, claiming that it portrayed men as inferior and unwilling towards women, as they were supposed to be better. #równośćpłci #gender #kobiety (translated)
