"Temptation" of the PSL leader. Sikorski comments on Kosiniak-Kamysz's meeting with Metzen

Watches and cabaret performances take place in front of the Constitutional Tribunal - commented Radosław Sikorski today, emphasizing that the atmosphere around the Tribunal is far from the seriousness required by an institution of this rank.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs also referred to the functioning of the Tribunal in recent months. In his opinion, the situation is slowly normalizing after a long period in which the Constitutional Tribunal did not hear cases and judges received significant remuneration.

The situation in the Constitutional Tribunal is normalizing after a long period of time when cases were not considered and judges earned over PLN 40,000. a month for doing nothing, said Sikorski.

Radosław Sikorski also emphasized the importance of respecting the decision of the Sejm regarding the election of judges of the Tribunal. According to him, judges elected by parliament should be treated with due dignity, in accordance with the will of citizens expressed through their representatives.

Respect for the Sejm requires that judges elected by the Sejm be treated in a dignified manner that reflects the decisions of the sovereign who acts through his representation in the Sejm, noted the minister.

Kosiniak-Kamysz meeting with Mentzen

On Thursday, a joint photo of the Deputy Prime Minister and head of the Ministry of National Defense, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, and one of the leaders of the Confederation, Sławomir Mentzen, circulated on social media. The photo, published on the X platform, was captioned by Mentzen: "It's going for good." Kosiniak-Kamysz himself wrote: "Everyone today... how was your day? Very busy."

This meeting caused a wave of speculation about possible cooperation between PSL and Konfederacja in the context of constitutional changes.

Commenting on the meeting between Kosiniak-Kamysz and Mentzen, Radosław Sikorski did not spare irony. I think that if Mr. Kosiniak-Kamysz resisted the temptation of Donald Trump, he will resist the temptation of Mr. Mentzen even more - he said, referring to the March meeting between the head of the Ministry of National Defense and the US president.

Kosiniak-Kamysz with constitutional reset

Earlier in the day, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz presented a draft bill amending the constitution, known as a "constitutional reset". It assumes that the National Assembly, upon a reasoned request of the National Council of the Judiciary, could, by a majority of at least 3/5 of the statutory number of members, recognize the permanent inability of the Constitutional Tribunal to perform its tasks. Then, in one vote, a new 15-person composition of the Tribunal would be elected for terms of 3, 6 and 9 years.

The candidates would be nominated by the Marshal of the Sejm after consultations with the first presidents of the Supreme Court and the Supreme Administrative Court and with the prior consent of the president. On the day of electing the new panel, the terms of office of the existing judges who would retire would expire.
