S\u0142awomir Patyra, elected by the Sejm to the Constitutional Tribunal on June 11, has formally requested a date for his mandatory swearing-in ceremony, but the Presidential Palace has yet to respond. <\/p>\n
S\u0142awomir Patyra was elected as a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal by the Sejm on June 11, yet he has been unable to assume his duties. The delay stems from the absence of a swearing-in ceremony before President Karol Nawrocki.<\/p>\n
Patyra has formally petitioned the head of state to schedule the oath. However, the Presidential Palace has declined to provide a timeline. Zbigniew Bogucki, head of the Chancellery of the President, stated on Polsat News that the ceremony will occur only when the President extends an invitation.<\/p>\n
The situation extends beyond administrative delays, reflecting a deeper conflict over the procedures for seating Constitutional Tribunal judges and the extent of presidential authority. The Palace has indicated that Karol Nawrocki is currently analyzing the matter to determine further steps.<\/p>\n
While the law mandates that an oath must be taken before the President to assume office, it does not specify a deadline for the President to facilitate this process. Failure to take the oath is legally equivalent to renouncing the position.<\/p>\n
Zbigniew Bogucki referenced legal opinions previously authored by Patyra regarding the status of Dariusz Barski. Those opinions, which questioned the legal effects of Barski\u2019s return to service, were later criticized by the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
Although the Presidential official linked this past expert activity to the current situation, he acknowledged he is not a party to the proceedings and did not confirm if Patyra\u2019s previous work is a formal reason for the lack of a scheduled oath date.<\/p>\n
The Patyra case is part of a larger ongoing conflict in 2026 regarding the seating of judges. Previously, President Nawrocki refused to accept oaths from other candidates elected by the Sejm, leading to a legal dispute currently pending before the Constitutional Tribunal regarding the scope of presidential competence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
