Speaker remains sceptical

Czarzasty said he was sceptical about amending the constitution during the current Sejm term ("Reset konstytucyjny". Jest nowy pomysł PSL – Business Insider Polska). Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek, asked about the PSL idea, said he wanted the coalition to speak with one voice and noted that a reset would require changing the constitution (Będzie reset konstytucyjny? Żurek chce rozmawiać, Czarnek mówi o zdradzie – RMF24).

He was also asked about ways to resolve the crisis around the Tribunal.

Next steps

The plan is expected to be presented at noon at the Polish Local Government Congress, where Kosiniak-Kamysz and PSL's Piotr Zgorzelski are to speak about the Tribunal's role (Reset konstytucyjny. Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz przedstawi swój projekt? – GazetaPrawna.pl) (Kosiniak-Kamysz proponuje reset konstytucyjny. Czarzasty sceptyczny – Wirtualna Polska). Detailed legislative proposals are due then.
