Former president of the Constitutional Tribunal on the president's behavior. "I am ashamed"

Former Constitutional Tribunal president Marek Safjan expressed embarrassment over President Karol Nawrocki's behavior, stating it undermines the independence of the Tribunal. In an interview, he criticized the president's actions and questioned the justification behind them. Safjan emphasized that even non-lawyers can understand the Constitution's clear stipulation that judges are elected by the Sejm. He dismissed the argument regarding the president's oath as a false conflict, asserting that there was an opportunity to resolve the Tribunal's issues legally in early 2026.
