Venice Commission: Polish president must swear in Constitutional Tribunal judges immediately

The Venice Commission issued an opinion stating that Poland's president should immediately administer oaths to Constitutional Tribunal judges elected by the Sejm, without asserting a right to review the election process. This adds international legal pressure on President Duda amid an ongoing rule-of-law dispute. The opinion is advisory, and its impact on domestic political dynamics remains uncertain.

The Commission's non-binding opinions consistently advised the Polish president to accept judicial oaths without review.
