"The competency dispute does not exist". New statement from the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal

Five judges of the Constitutional Tribunal issued a statement rejecting claims of a competency dispute between the president and the Speaker of the Sejm regarding the swearing-in of judges. They emphasized that the president has no authority to refuse to accept oaths from judges duly elected by the Sejm. The judges argued that the alleged competency dispute does not exist and that the process of allowing judges to adjudicate is merely a technical procedure. They noted that resolving any competency dispute requires at least 11 judges, but currently, five judges are barred from adjudicating. The statement concluded that the president and the Tribunal president lack the power to selectively allow judges to adjudicate, as this would violate the constitution.
