Polish Officials Clash Over National Prosecutor Appointment

The head of Poland’s Chancellery, Jan Grabiec, announced that the Prime Minister had reportedly appointed Dariusz Korneluk to a senior role within the national prosecutor’s office. He added that the president has not expressed an opinion on the change in the position of the National Prosecutor, even though constitutional practice often requires the president to comment. Grżyna Ignaczak-Bandych, who leads the President’s Chancellery, stressed on Radio One that an opinion can be issued once the National Prosecutor is appointed in accordance with the law. At present, she noted, there is a dispute over which body holds competence in this matter and who should authorize such a change. (via wPolityce)
