Marcin Matczak considered the president's attempt to control whether the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal elected by the Sejm met the requirements as usurpation. He argued that according to the principle of legality, the president would need a clear legal basis for such control, and — as he wrote — there was no such provision. Matczak criticized the hypothetical examples presented by Marcin Przydacz and Zbigniew Bogucki regarding the election of a horse, a monkey, or a person without Polish citizenship to the Tribunal. He described them as science fiction scenarios. He added that if the Sejm chose animals, it could invalidate their appointment with another resolution, just as — according to him — PiS did in 2015 to introduce substitutes into the Tribunal. He noted that in that case, people who had Polish citizenship were elected. In response to the arguments of Przydacz and Bogucki, Matczak presented his own ironic examples of possible presidential control: a test of knowledge about society and the Constitution, a physical fitness test, and a certificate from a parish priest about the candidate's impeccable character. He asked why the president should control one requirement and not the others. Matczak wrote that he considered the whole situation absurd. He assessed that caricatural legal arguments were being constructed so that the president — a potential defendant of the Tribunal — could decide who would judge him. He attributed such a position to Karol Nawrocki and his associates. #prawo #Polska #sędziowie (translated)

Aleksander Twardowski wrote that MP Kamil Wnuk responded to his question about renting a car, but the amounts and facts provided by him differed from the information from the Chancellery of the Sejm. Twardowski informed that yesterday he requested the Chancellery to audit the contracts of the MP. He added that if it turns out that Wnuk settled a higher amount than he actually spent, he would notify the prosecutor's office. The Chancellery had previously conducted a similar audit regarding Adam Gomoła. Twardowski also wrote that Poland 2050 informed him via email that it would not disclose the contract register with complete data of the parties. He declared that upon receiving a written refusal with justification, he would take the matter to court. He accused Katarzyna Pełczyńska and Szymon Hołownia of not wanting to reveal how public money is spent and described such actions as a violation of the law. He also informed that the day before yesterday he submitted a request to the Left for the disclosure of the full, non-anonymized register of contracts concluded since the beginning of the term. He expected a refusal and announced that he would promptly appeal it to the court. Finally, he recommended the Citizens' Network and encouraged financial support for it. #FinansePubliczne #Jawność #Prawo (translated)
