Prof. Matczak: the president should stand before the State Tribunal

In an interview, Professor Marcin Matczak discussed the ongoing attempts to undermine the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland, linking it to Jarosław Kaczyński's long-term plans. He criticized the aggressive actions surrounding the Tribunal, noting the presence of armed police as inappropriate for a legal institution. Matczak expressed concerns about the legitimacy of current judges and the quorum required for decisions, arguing that the suspension of judges does not equate to their removal from the quorum count. He also condemned President Karol Nawrocki for not allowing legally elected judges to take their oaths, suggesting this constitutes a constitutional violation. Matczak warned that such actions could lead to dangerous precedents in the Tribunal's functioning.
