The head of government is not entirely satisfied with this choice. The MP of the Left Anna Maria Żukowska reminded in the program "Guest of Events" about the passed by the governing coalition of the Constitutional Tribunal Act.

It states that Members and members of the Council of Ministers must wait at least 4 years from the end of office until they can be appointed justice of the Constitutional Court.

- I'm sorry. It was a law that did not enter into force due to the fact that president Andrzej Duda did not sign it, but it was passed. It was a bill for which we all voted, besides Donald Tusk - she stressed.

She explained that if president Duda had made a different decision and these provisions would have entered into force, then Maciej Berek could not have been a candidate to the Constitutional Court.

When asked if the Left would support this candidacy, she stated that it would be essential to wait until September erstwhile the club gathering would take place.

According to her, the Prime Minister's decision may besides consequence from his desire to delight the most extremist electorate. - I think there's any kind of electorate, 1 of the most extremist ones who's demanding something, but I don't think he truly knows what it is. She demands that it be done, that Ziobro be behind bars, that PiS be accounted for, but does not realize that it is not politicians who account and it is not politicians who put them behind bars," she said.

- I'm sorry. The courts do this, and if we want it to be in accordance with procedures and without political influence on these courts, then this procedure does not happen in 2 weeks, as the Prime Minister erstwhile promised in the election run - she explained.
