A similar interpretation regarding the oath of judges was presented in 2015 by then PiS MP, prosecutor during the martial law Stanisław Piotrowicz, who is now a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal, who stated from the parliamentary podium that judges of the Constitutional Tribunal do not have to take their oath in the presence of the president, they can do it in the Sejm, and that this would be in accordance with the law. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #PiS #Polityka (translated)

The author questioned Krupka's invocation of "gross violation" of Article 86 of the law. He wrote that the provision concerns the effects of initiating proceedings in a competence dispute, and not the oath-taking by judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. He demanded clarification on what proceedings had been suspended, how the oath would violate the effects of the suspension, and on what legal basis such a claim was made. He added that citing statements by Bogdan Święczkowski or writing the word "gross" in capital letters does not replace legal interpretation nor prove a violation. He expected legal arguments from representatives of the legislative authority, rather than the repetition of political declarations as undisputed resolutions. #prawo #polityka #władza (translated)

Author r00t🇪🇺 accused Bogucki of omitting the Constitution, the hierarchy of legal sources, and circumstances in his interpretation that—according to the author—did not fit his thesis. He reminded that according to Article 194(1) of the Constitution, judges of the Constitutional Tribunal are elected by the Sejm, and the president has no right to approve this election or politically verify it. According to the author, Article 4(1) of the Act on the Status of Judges of the CT concerned the taking of an oath but did not grant the president the right of veto. The author cited the judgment of the CT K 34/15 from December 3, 2015, stating that the Tribunal recognized that the lack of a statutory deadline for taking an oath means an obligation to act without delay, with the possibility of considering exceptional, objective circumstances. He questioned Bogucki's argument about the change of law and urged him to specify a particular normative change that would justify departing from this interpretation. He added that the fundamental structure of the oath before the president remained unchanged, as did Article 194(1) of the Constitution. Discussing the judgment K 3/26 from May 12, 2026, the author pointed out that Justyn Piskorski sat in the adjudicating panel, whose status—he wrote—was linked to the flawed composition of the CT considered by the ECtHR in the case of Xero Flor v. Poland. He also accused Bogucki of failing to mention the publication of the judgment in the Journal of Laws, required—according to the author—by Article 190(2) of the Constitution. The author also recalled the dissenting opinions of Rafał Wojciechowski and Jarosław Wyrembak. According to his account, Wojciechowski accused the majority of going beyond the limits of the request and creating a norm contrary to Article 194(1) of the Constitution, while Wyrembak questioned the sentence and pointed to the obligation to take the oath as a consequence of the obligation to submit it. The author also noted that the justification of K 3/26 referred to extraordinary, objective, and justified circumstances, not to the unlimited political freedom of the president. Questioning Article 5 of the Act on the Status of Judges of the CT, the author stated that adopting Bogucki’s interpretation could mean granting the president an actual ability to block the effects of the election made by the Sejm. He urged him to indicate a provision of the Constitution establishing such a competence. He added that Article 126 does not constitute a blanket authorization for extending the president's powers, and its paragraph 3 specifies that the president performs tasks on the principles laid down in the Constitution and laws. Finally, the author accused Bogucki of selective use of provisions and case law. He wrote that the lack of a statutory deadline does not grant the president the right to indefinitely block the constitutional competences of the Sejm. #Konstytucja #Prawo #Polska (translated)

– The Venice Commission provided a clear interpretation. First, all decisions of the Sejm in this matter are in accordance with the law. Second, the president must immediately swear in all judges of the Constitutional Tribunal. (…) Third, if the president does not do this, the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal must take an oath in another form. And I wanted to tell you – they will. We simply have enough of breaking the law – emphasized Czarzasty. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #WłodzimierzCzarzasty #prawo (translated)

Bartosz Lewandowski ironically wrote that Michał Kołodziejczak, in terms of respect for women, was supposed to cultivate the best traditions of the Coalition Civic's strict leadership. He added that prestigious British universities surely taught how one should behave towards women. https://t.co/9TGVTFl6mu #szacunek #kobiety #tradycje (translated)

The author wrote that something terrifying was happening before his eyes. He assessed that the situations described by the media will be discussed for a long time, and among the questions that will arise is whether they could have been prevented. In a conversation with GoniecPL, he spoke, as he emphasized, as a father, teacher, and lecturer, not as a former politician. (translated)

BPM Chief Marcin Przydacz summarized the ongoing visit of the President of the Republic of Poland and his spouse to the Philippines. He wrote that it included a conversation with President Marcos about bilateral relations, especially economic ones, and about Poland's future in the G20 group. He noted that the Philippines chaired ASEAN this year and was set to host a summit of the organization with the participation of the President of the United States in a few weeks. According to Przydacz, Poland's voice before this meeting was important. Przydacz wrote that the President took a group of entrepreneurs to the Philippines, and during the visit, a Polish-Filipino business summit in the IT sector took place, which was patronized by President Nawrocki. He expressed hope that the meeting would yield positive results. He also mentioned the President's lecture at the University of Santo Tomas, aimed at young Filipinos, which was intended to present the potential of Poland and its economy as well as the country's growing political role. Przydacz assessed that the President's contacts with Manny Pacquiao, an eight-time world champion, former senator, and then minister for poverty alleviation, helped promote Poland and the Polish brand in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. He wrote that he considered this aspect of the visit to be particularly effective and emphasized that Poland should be promoted in a modern way. #Polska #Filipiny #dyplomacja (translated)

Hanna Shen wrote that critics of Karol Nawrocki's participation in the boxing training with Manny Pacquiao expected a lecture, but saw the president in the ring instead. In her opinion, the recording published by Pacquiao could have reached millions of Filipinos and served as effective promotion for Poland. She reminded that Pacquiao was a former senator and the only world champion in eight weight classes in history. Shen noted that Nawrocki also spoke at the Catholic University of Santo Tomas in Manila, founded by Dominicans in 1611. According to her, the university was older than Harvard and was considered the oldest functioning university in Asia. She wrote that José Rizal studied there, and Nawrocki laid a wreath at his statue. She also mentioned Pope Francis's meeting with young people at the university in 2015. According to Shen, the president spoke to students about the shared experiences of Poland and the Philippines, such as foreign domination and the struggle to preserve identity, as well as about faith, family, solidarity, freedom, and sovereignty. He also recalled the Russian invasion of Ukraine and hybrid attacks on Poland, emphasizing that deterrence requires strength. Shen believed that this message could be understood in a country dealing with Chinese pressures at sea. She added that serious discussions, a lecture, and training with a boxing legend could have been elements of the same diplomatic visit. https://t.co/O6JtNM19h7 #Polska #Filipiny #dyplomacja (translated)

Damian Urbaniec wrote that he performed for the first time in the role of lecturer and started "Press Spokesperson Workshops" at UKEN in Krakow.

The spokesperson for the President of the Republic of Poland, Rafał Leśkiewicz, said on Radio Jedynka that the United States conducted a review of its military forces in Europe. Its results were to be included in a document that would first go to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and likely be presented to Donald Trump around the turn of November and December. According to Leśkiewicz, a decision about the deployment of American forces in Europe would then be made. He added that Poland should strive to have a base located in the country and assessed that the statements of Prime Minister Donald Tusk suggesting a different course for the conversation between Trump and Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz did not help in this regard. Leśkiewicz stated that the president hoped until the end for the ruling party to prepare a solution in accordance with the constitution but did not want Poles to remain hostages of Tusk's politics. He accused the prime minister of using fuel prices in political disputes and attributed the responsibility for their high prices during the summer period to the ruling party. The spokesperson also argued that the laws vetoed by the president left several billion zlotys in the pockets of Poles, which they could manage in a difficult economic situation. Speaking about the president's visit to the Philippines, Leśkiewicz described it as the first historic visit of a Polish president to that country. He informed that Karol Nawrocki opened the Polish-Filipino business summit dedicated to the IT industry, organized since 2022, and delivered a lecture at the University of Santo Tomas in Manila. He added that the Philippines bought Polish Black Hawk helicopters and were to acquire more, and he regarded the development of economic cooperation with this country as important. The spokesperson said that the international actions of the president conducted since the beginning of the year aimed to support Poland's permanent presence in the G20 group, develop economic cooperation, attract capital, and facilitate Polish companies in obtaining contracts. He emphasized that Poland was interested in ensuring that the invitation to the G20 was not a one-time event. He pointed out that good relations with the United States were key, reminding that it was Donald Trump's decision that invited Poland to the group. He added that President Karol Nawrocki sought further allies, and the government should support these efforts. At the same time, he described the economic situation as a deepening crisis, indicating a high deficit and budget gap. #Polska #G20 #USA (translated)

The commentator described the exchange of opinions between Witold Zembaczyński and Ferek regarding the opposition's projects and President Karol Nawrocki. Zembaczyński reportedly stated that the opposition's projects would not be passed and would remain in limbo, adding that he did not know if they were useful for anything. Ferek defined this as the Civic Coalition's approach to parliamentarism, to which Zembaczyński replied that this is what democracy is about. In the end, the author used an offensive nickname and claimed that his addressee understands democracy only in its Chinese and North Korean versions. #demokracja #opolityce #parlamentaryzm (translated)

The Investor Profession wrote that he calmly demonstrated in one of the episodes that the stock market in the long term is a positive-sum game. He accused Robert Gwiazdowski of having given a lecture titled "Casino Royale" at the WallStreet conference several years ago on a topic he—according to the author—was not knowledgeable about, and investors pointed out his mistakes. According to the Investor Profession, that criticism hurt Gwiazdowski's professorial ego, and from then on he periodically returned to the anecdote and boasted about the outrage it had provoked. The author added that a scientist should seek ways to overturn their own theses and change them in light of evidence. He also crudely suggested that Gwiazdowski should publicly compromise himself during his next television appearance, claiming that it would provoke similar controversies and substantive effects but would create a less socially harmful anecdote. #inwestycje #rynekakcji #finanse (translated)

"When they arrive, I will confirm that I really believe" I am one of the few commentators who, to journalists' questions about whether I believe in a permanent base and various beneficial moves for Poland, have always responded: "When they arrive, I will confirm that I really believe," because there is still a bit more smoke than fire in all this - assessed Bogusław Pacek, a retired major general, professor, director of the Polish Army Museum, and also a lecturer at the Firefighting Academy. #USA #wojsko #Polska (translated)

The District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw has charged former lecturer at the Academy of Justice, Jarosław Sz., accusing him of five sexual offenses, including rape, which are said to have taken place from December 2022 to February 2025. #Gwałt #PrawoKarne #AkademiaWymiaruSprawiedliwości (translated)

In 2025, thanks to my swift reaction and the initiation of an investigation, this lecturer was dismissed from the Academy of Justice. Unfortunately, today Maria Ejchart and Sławomir Cudak reinstated Dr. Jakub Czarkowski, who at that time protected this lecturer, to the position of prorector. Meanwhile, the disciplinary spokesperson who effectively prosecuted this lecturer was dismissed by Messrs. Cudak and Czarkowski. #sprawiedliwość #edukacja #etyka (translated)
