"Signs of a coup". PiS notifies the prosecutor's office regarding Czarzasty and Berek

On Wednesday morning in the Sejm, in the presence of, among others, Marshal of the Sejm Włodzimierz Czarzasty and Marshal of the Senate Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, elected by the Sejm as a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal in September, Berek took an oath in the form "towards the president". President Karol Nawrocki was not present at the ceremony.

Berek then took the oath in writing, with a notarially certified signature, at the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, and then - together with other judges elected by the Sejm this term - he went to the seat of the Constitutional Tribunal, where he had a conversation with its president. He was not allowed to perform duties.

PiS MP Mariusz Błaszczak argued at a conference in front of the Constitutional Tribunal that yesterday's events in the Sejm "have the hallmarks of a coup." He also accused Maciej Berek - elected by the Sejm as a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal in September - of aiding and abetting the crime.

We demand an investigation into this matter, hearing of witnesses and bringing consequences to the usurpers, said the former Minister of Defense.

Błaszczak was skeptical about the suggestion of some politicians and commentators that the situation in the Tribunal could be resolved by making a reset. No resets - the law in force in Poland must be complied with, he said.

Another PiS MP, Michał Wójcik, said that Wednesday's events in the Sejm "were a farce, a circus." Mr. Czarzasty took on the role of the president of Poland - he said.
