Maciej Berek Sworn In As Constitutional Tribunal Judge Despite President's Refusal
Maciej Berek was sworn in as a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal in the Sejm, defying President Karol Nawrocki's refusal to administer the oath. The Venice Commission had earlier advised that the president should immediately swear in elected judges without verifying their selection. Berek's swearing-in sparked protests outside the Constitutional Tribunal, with the president of the tribunal stating that Berek was not allowed to rule until the president recognizes the oath.47 sourcesSee all sources
