President to Deeply Consider Constitutional Issues. Bogucki on Oath-Taking of Constitutional Tribunal Judges

Michał Olech

- [The President] has returned from the USA and will certainly look deeply, as was also announced, into constitutional matters. Why it's not here, and I'll show an example in the case of Krystian Markiewicz, is the Sejm's resolution; there's not a word about when the term begins, which judge it replaces, while the Constitutional Tribunal's ruling regarding Article 194 of the Constitution states – judges' terms must be individualized - stated Zbigniew Bogucki on Polsat News' "Graffiti".

- Today, the President will certainly ponder this issue. It is certainly a very important matter for the President, as he is the guardian of the Constitution. He is the sole body in Poland that is the guardian of the Constitution. I don't know [if there will be a decision today]; the President must properly weigh these constitutional values. On the one hand, there are very serious, conscious, and deliberate shortcomings by this majority, in order not to elect Constitutional Tribunal judges, and therefore not to have the tribunal control this authority - he continued.
