Szłapka on the Swearing-in of Constitutional Tribunal Judges:
The President Still Needs Some Time.
- In any case, in accordance with the Constitution, because these provisions are very precisely described in the Constitution, the judges have been selected, the Constitutional Tribunal judges are elected by the Sejm by way of a resolution, and the Constitution does not further specify here, it does not provide for additional provisions, so the Constitution is very clear and explicit here, and it is the duty of these judges to take the oath before the President - stated Adam Szłapka at a press conference.
- This stems from the law, but it is a custom. We heard a statement from the current judge of the Constitutional Tribunal, Mr. Piotrowicz, who, in a parliamentary statement when justifying one of the draft laws on the Constitutional Tribunal, said that it is not an obligation at all, that it must be before the President - emphasized the government spokesperson.
- According to the law, Constitutional Tribunal judges take the oath before the President, and this is not an arbitrary decision, the President's decision, it is one of his duties, and of course, I think that this is a moment when the President still needs some time. He returned from the USA, it seems yesterday, so I think we can still give the President a little time - he continued.
