Constitutional Tribunal - PIS candidates. For some, the list selected by PIS will come as no surprise. In others, it may arouse slight consternation. Ryszard Terlecki: Stanisław Piotrowicz, Krystyna Pawłowicz and Elżbieta Chojna-Duch - such names were presented by the party for the position of judges in the Constitutional Tribunal. The selection of three new judges is not enough. Two more will remain elected by the Sejm with the majority of the PO-PSL: Leon Kieres (his term of office expires on July 23, 2021) and Małgorzata Pyziak-Szafnicka (her term of office expires on January 5, 2020). Who are the new applicants? And what are their chances in this clash?
