Prof. Jacek Czaputowicz: From Doubles to Non-Judges. The Dutch Recipe for Absurdity in the Constitutional Tribunal

The article discusses the ongoing crisis surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland, highlighting the political tensions and the lack of compromise between parties. It critiques the current selection process of judges and the influence of political factions on judicial independence. The author argues that the Tribunal has become a tool for political maneuvering rather than a guardian of the constitution. The piece suggests that a potential solution could be adopting a model similar to the Netherlands, where there is no separate constitutional court, prompting a reevaluation of the Tribunal's role in Polish governance.
