Żurek Addresses Nawrocki:

The President Has No Right to Select Constitutional Tribunal Judges Like a Goalkeeper.

Mateusz Nowak

"The Sejm elected six Constitutional Tribunal judges. The President only swore in two. Not because the law dictates it. Only because he decided so himself." - wrote Waldemar Żurek on X.

"The Constitution is clear. The Sejm elects Constitutional Tribunal judges. The President has no right to select them, like a goalkeeper. This is an usurpation of powers he DOES NOT HAVE. Because if the head of state can choose which laws to apply - it means that the law ceases to be binding for everyone." - he continued in his post.

"Mr. President, please use your moment of free time to open your calendar and set a date. Violating the Constitution is a serious matter." - he stated.

Sejm wybrał sześciu sędziów TK. Prezydent odebrał ślubowanie tylko od dwóch.

Nie dlatego, że tak stanowi prawo. Tylko dlatego, że tak sobie wymyślił.

Konstytucja jest jasna. Sędziów TK wybiera Sejm. Prezydent nie ma prawa ich selekcjonować, jak na bramce.

To uzurpacja…
