Poland's Constitutional Tribunal crisis deepens as new judge appointed amid ongoing dispute

Maciej Berek has been appointed as a judge of Poland's Constitutional Tribunal, but the move is seen as deepening the institutional crisis rather than resolving it. The appointment is part of an ongoing political struggle over the tribunal's composition and legitimacy, with critics viewing it as further entrenching political control. The situation remains unresolved, with the tribunal's functioning and public trust at stake.
