Waldemar Żurek warns against constitutional reset. "This is a very dangerous precedent"
On Thursday, Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz announced a constitutional amendment proposal aimed at restoring social peace and the credibility of the Constitutional Tribunal. The PSL's project includes terminating the current judges' terms and establishing a new 15-member tribunal with staggered terms. Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek expressed concerns about the potential for a constitutional 'reset' leading to political instability. The conflict intensified when Anna Korwin-Piotrowska assumed leadership of the Tribunal, leading to disputes over legitimacy. President Karol Nawrocki returned from Senegal, citing a constitutional breach, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk criticized the president for not swearing in certain judges.
