Did the Prime Minister mislead voters over a Supreme Court nomination?

Donald Tusk signed the nomination of Supreme Court judge Krzysztof Wesolowski, a move that opponents of the judiciary reforms have labeled a “neo-judge.” Tusk attempted to account for the decision, describing the misstep and placing the entire responsibility on his minister Maciej Berek, who heads the Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers and who presented the nomination for signing. Yet independent reporting casts doubt on that sequence of events. Onet’s investigation indicates that Tusk’s office was actively monitoring the nomination process, raising questions about whether the signing of Wesolowski’s name was a genuine error or a controlled choice with political intent. The central question for readers is whether Tusk misled voters again, and how the steps of this nomination align with past debates over judicial reform.
