Maciej Berek has responded to remarks made by President Karol Nawrocki during an interview with Interia and Polsat News. The President stated he has a “duty not to accept” Berek’s oath of office. Berek stated on TVP Info that he has been included amongst distinguished lawyers assessed by the President as unqualified to be judges. He was reacting to Nawrocki’s comments during the Interia interview. This follows a pattern of the President questioning the qualifications of potential judicial appointments. The situation highlights a growing dispute between the President and members of the legal community. This issue centers on the President’s power to vet and appoint judges in Poland.
