Krzysztof Bosak criticizes PSL proposal to reset Constitutional Tribunal

Krzysztof Bosak, Deputy Marshal of the Sejm and leader of Konfederacja, has criticized a proposal by the Polish People's Party (PSL) regarding the reset of the Constitutional Tribunal. While Bosak welcomed the fact that PSL has joined discussions to constitutionally end the current crisis, he expressed concern over the mechanism's design.

The PSL project proposes adding Article 194a to the Constitution. Under this plan, the National Council of the Judiciary could submit a reasoned motion stating the Tribunal is permanently unable to perform its duties. A decision would then be made by the National Assembly with a three-fifths majority (336 parliamentarians). If triggered, current judges' terms would expire, and the National Assembly would elect 15 new judges in a single vote using the same three-fifths majority.

Bosak warned that the proposal is overly complicated and creates a permanent tool rather than a one-time transitional solution. He argued that such a mechanism could allow future political majorities to repeatedly terminate judges' terms if the Tribunal's rulings become inconvenient, potentially undermining the continuity of law.
