Donald Tusk confirmed on 13 August that he had given conditional consent to the departure of Maciej Berk from the government and his moving for the Constitutional Court. It's not a tiny staff rift. It is simply a test of the credibility of the camp, which promised to depoliticize the state, and now it itself reaches for a organization shortcut.
Berek from Government to Court
Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that Maciej Berek is to be a candidate for the Constitutional Court. According to the media, the head of government spoke of conditional consent to the minister's departure from the government and argued that it was a competent and non-partisan person. The problem is that the political way of this candidacy is besides clear.
Maciej Berek is not an anonymous expert drawn from a university cabinet. On the KPRM website it is presented as Minister for Government Policy Implementation Oversight, and a government description of the Committee indicates that its structure monitors and controls the implementation of the priorities of the Council of Ministers. In another words: Berek was a man of the center of executive power, close to the Prime Minister and his current policy.
Country as a spoil
Kataryna in her opinion for Virtual Poland wrote harshly that Tusk rewards a close associate with a prestigious function and hits people who believed in the slogans about a better country. Those words are strong, but it's hard to pretend they don't contact the point. erstwhile a politician goes consecutive from the government's back to the constitutional court, the citizen sees not the repair of the institution, but the mechanics for filling the next positions.
In DN we already wrote that Tuska game about institutions continues. This case shows it in textbook. First there is simply a large communicative about standards, then there comes a concrete nomination, and at the end we hear that the situation is peculiar and this time there is more.
Standards only work against opponents?
Camp Tusk spent years building a message on the slogan of the state's defiance. The Constitutional Tribunal was to be a symbol of the restoration of the rules, not another field of staff offensive. However, if a close associate of the Prime Minister is to go to the TK almost from the march, it means that the standard ceases to be a regulation and becomes a tool of combat.
This is dangerous for you due to the fact that the Court is not a reward for loyalty or a halt for a functioning official. It's an organ to control the power, including the current one. erstwhile executive power sends a man there from his own back, it weakens the credibility of the institution he claims to heal. In the background, besides growing dispute over the Constitutional Courtwhich Poles have simply had enough.
Rate for the citizen
For a common Pole, this communicative is not an abstract lawyer's war. The question is whether the state should be the common good or the prey of the winners. If each team, after taking over power, considers that they can fill institutions with their own people, the citizen shall be without real protection from the arbitraryity of the rulers.
Tusk can talk about Berk's powers. It can explain the uniqueness of the situation. But politics is besides the art of consequences. He who promises standards for years and then bends them at the first hard appointment teaches the voters of cynicism. And this cynicism present is 1 of the most costly costs of ruling the state as the base of its own formation.
