Czarzasty accuses President Nawrocki of undermining the Constitutional Tribunal

Sejm Marshal Włodzimierz Czarzasty confronted President Karol Nawrocki, accusing him of destroying the state by blocking the Constitutional Tribunal’s work. Czarzasty highlighted the president’s refusal to administer the oath to Maciej Berek, a judge selected by the Sejm, and emphasized that the Tribunal must operate free from political pressure. He asserted that independent, well-trained jurists, not politicians, should decide its affairs.

In response, President Nawrocki outlined a plan to "reset" the Tribunal by autumn 2027, pledging that future appointees must satisfy a ten-year legal-practice requirement. The clash reflects ongoing tensions over the Tribunal’s legitimacy and the broader struggle for judicial autonomy in Poland.
