Venice Commission advises Polish president to accept tribunal judges' oaths

The Venice Commission has issued rulings that validate Maciej Berek's presidential oath and the authority of Constitutional Tribunal judges, effectively clearing his path to the presidency and undermining Nawrocki's refusal to accept them. This development, confirmed with medium-high confidence, resolves a domestic political impasse but may escalate political tensions in Poland. The Commission's non-binding opinions consistently advised the Polish president to accept judicial oaths without review.
