"Smokescreen". Member of parliament from the ruling coalition on the dispute over the Constitutional Tribunal

In an afternoon conversation on RMF FM, Rafał Komarewicz sharply assessed the election of Maciej Berek as a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal. It is worth recalling that just a few weeks ago Berek was a minister in Donald Tusk's government, and the leader of the Civic Coalition called him his "right hand".

Probably about a year and a half ago, my colleagues from the Civic Coalition convinced me to vote for no politicians in the Constitutional Tribunal. Then they send the politician to the Constitutional Tribunal. This is a denial of certain standards that we promised to Poles - said the Centrum club MP sharply.

According to Komarewicz, the escalation of emotions around the Constitutional Tribunal that has been visible in recent days plays into the hands of the Civic Platform and Law and Justice. This is a bit of a smokescreen, the parliamentarian suggested.

"Let's get serious"

The RMF FM guest also presented a very bold thesis for a member of the October 15 coalition - that the topic of the Tribunal does not directly concern Poles and, moreover, is not understandable to them.

Let's deal with health care issues. The economic model is changing. We need to consider where our children will have work. These are the basic things that we should deal with - said Joanna Górska's interlocutor on RMF FM.

The Center's parliamentarian also pointed out that the situation in the Polish judiciary has been only getting worse for over a decade.

We blame either PiS or KO. I think this is, as I said before, a smokescreen. Let's deal with really serious things that interest Poles, concluded Komarewicz.

What's next for TK? There is no end in sight to the confusion

For now, it is not known how the political exchange of blows regarding the Constitutional Tribunal will end. Maciej Berek entered the judges' part of the building on Tuesday, but as we read in the Constitutional Tribunal's press release, he did it with the consent of president Bogdan Święczkowski. He was still not allowed to adjudicate. Controversy arouses, among others: the fact that he took the oath without the physical presence of the president.
