Leśkiewicz:

Parliament Did Not Specify Which Vacancies the Constitutional Tribunal Judges Would Fill, or Whose Positions They Would Succeed

Mateusz Nowak

- The President decided to appoint Dr. Magdalena Bentkowska and Professor Dariusz Szostek [...] taking into account their academic achievements, legal background, and professional experience - said Rafał Leśkiewicz on Radio ZET, when asked why the president chose these two specific judges of the Constitutional Tribunal and not others from the 6 selected by the Sejm.

- The ruling party, by choosing 6 judges as a package, or rather candidates for judges, because they only become judges after taking the oath [...] parliament did not specify which vacancies these judges would be elected to, or whose positions they would succeed as judges of the Constitutional Tribunal - he continued.
