Prof. Tomasz Słomka: "I don't believe that it's possible to change the constitution under these conditions"

The discussion revolves around the possibility of restoring the credibility of the Constitutional Tribunal in Poland amidst political polarization. Professor Tomasz Słomka expresses skepticism about achieving consensus among major political forces for constitutional changes. The PSL party proposes ending the terms of current judges and electing a new composition, but this requires cooperation among political opponents, which seems unlikely. The Tribunal is viewed as a political tool, complicating trust in its authority. The conversation also touches on the recent success of Democrats in Texas, suggesting a shift towards a more inclusive political discourse. Słomka concludes with a hopeful note on the potential for political change in Poland.
