PSL proposes constitutional change concerning the Constitutional Tribunal
Published
The Polish People's Party (PSL), the smaller partner in the governing coalition, presented a proposal on Thursday to amend Poland's constitution. Under this proposal, judges of the Constitutional Tribunal would be replaced in a single one-time step. The information comes from the polskieradio.pl portal, and the article contains only a short summary, so we do not yet know all the details of the draft.
The Constitutional Tribunal is an important body in Poland. It checks whether laws are consistent with the constitution, and its decisions are of great significance for the functioning of the state. For several years, the dispute over the composition of the Tribunal and the status of its judges has been one of the most important topics in Polish politics.
Changing the constitution in Poland requires a special procedure. The draft must obtain an appropriate majority in both the Sejm and the Senate, and in some cases the consent of the president is also needed. For this reason, the PSL proposal will have to go through a lengthy legislative process before it becomes law.
For now, it is unclear how the other parties in the coalition and the opposition will react to the proposal. It is worth following further developments, as the next stages of the discussion will show whether the draft has a chance of support in parliament.
