Maciej Berek leaves government to become Constitutional Tribunal candidate

Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed on Thursday that Maciej Berek — until now a minister and one of his closest aides — will be nominated as a candidate for the Constitutional Tribunal. Berek received a standing ovation on his departure, though some coalition partners were surprised by the move. He was regarded as one of the most discreet and trusted members of Tusk's cabinet.
