Piotr Kusznieruk questioned whether the Sejm documented the verification of Maciej Berek's qualifications for selection to the Constitutional Tribunal. He wrote that Andrzej Filipowicz requested documents from the Chancellery of the Sejm and the Justice and Human Rights Committee, but the received response — according to Filipowicz’s account — did not mention documents from the bar association confirming Berek's qualifications and experience. Kusznieruk pointed out a discrepancy between Sejm print number 3006 from August 14, 2026, which stated that Berek had been practicing as a legal advisor since 2001 and actively for 25 years, and a certificate from OIRP in Warsaw dated September 3, 2026. According to the data he cited, Berek was entered on the list on June 26, 2002, and obtained his qualifications after taking the oath on September 25, 2002. The certificate listed the periods of registered legal practice from January 1, 2006, to July 31, 2009, and from August 1, 2012, to the date of issuance but did not include a list of civil law contracts. The author quoted responses from the Senate Chancellery and the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights, according to which Berek did not hold the position of legal advisor there nor provided legal assistance in that role. The Supreme Audit Office informed, however, that he was a legal advisor and performed duties aligned with the tasks of advisors, although the appointment of a controller as a legal advisor was not possible. Kusznieruk emphasized that the legal qualification of this work and the declared civil law contracts remained in dispute. According to Filipowicz's summary, if the two periods of Berek's work as a legal advisor in NIK are counted, his tenure was 1,345 days, or about 3 years and 8 months; without those periods, it was 387 days related to running a law office. Kusznieruk noted that this was an analysis of available materials and not a binding decision regarding the failure to meet the requirements. He called for determining who in the Sejm was responsible for verification and what documents were examined, indicating that any potential criminal liability under Article 231 § 1 or § 3 of the Penal Code would require demonstrating statutory prerequisites. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #Prawo #InformacjaPubliczna (translated)

BOOP.PL wrote that from Thursday, October 22, until the end of the year, there was to be a police operation to control car lighting. He claimed that thousands of drivers were installing illegal LED and xenon replacements or modifying lenses, which caused the headlights to lose their factory homologation. According to the author, European approvals only applied to selected fog lamp bulbs, while H4 and H7 low beams remained banned in Poland. He added that with reasonable suspicion, the police were to direct the vehicle to a control station at the owner's expense, confiscate the registration certificate, and impose a fine of up to 3000 PLN. #kontrole #bezpieczeństwo #drogi (translated)

The Stock Information published a review of events in which they wrote about the riots in France and assessed that the authorities lost control over them. They reported that over 1,000 officers were injured there, and that the town hall in Limoges, which survived two wars, burned down. They also mentioned hundreds of expensive Pokémon cards found on the street in Lille. The authors wrote that Iran had announced the opening of the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the US met its conditions, and that more tankers were burning in the strait. They also noted that Egypt was to send troops to defend Saudi Arabia, and that the Houthis shot down a Saudi helicopter. They mentioned the new Iranian Minister of Defense and a fire at an oil terminal in St. Petersburg. The review also included information about clashes, fires, and destruction in Milan and Bologna, the use of gas and water cannons against students in Belgium, housing protests and riots in Spain, demonstrations regarding wages and housing costs in Lisbon, and a fire at the offices of the Supreme Court in Tirana. The authors also included a mention of an EU mandate regarding an immigration ban, without explaining what exactly it concerned. They attributed to Donald Trump the words that Volodymyr Zelensky would not end the war as long as he received money from Europe, and wrote that Trump supported Benjamin Netanyahu in the elections. They added that Trump was to reconstruct a golf course in Washington. Finally, the authors humorously compared the situation in France to autumn and wrote that when stepping out of the house, one can get hit in the face. #wiadomości #polityka #świat (translated)

Waldemar criticized the statements about the constitutional crisis and the possibility of the state being taken over by Czarzasty. He argued that the constitution provides that in case the president is unable to act, his duties are performed by the Marshal of the Sejm, and reminded that Nawrocki had previously expressed a similar position. According to Waldemar, Berek and the others took an oath because the president refused, and the Venice Commission allowed for other solutions when the president blocks actions. The author pointed out that the opponents of this decision used offensive terms and referred to the "strength of the nation." Przydacz, as Waldemar reported, raised the alarm that the Constitutional Tribunal might soon declare Nawrocki unfit to perform his duties. Waldemar assessed that the critics reacted with panic because they were losing control over the Tribunal, which they had treated as their property for years. He added that it was not Czarzasty who abdicated or was lost, but his opponents who had weakened the Tribunal for years and were now screaming about succession and the use of force. He appealed for them to apply the constitution regardless of whether its provisions suited them. #Konstytucja #Polska #Prawo (translated)
