Tusk confirms minister Berek as candidate for Constitutional Tribunal

Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed that Minister Maciej Berek will leave the government to stand as a candidate for the Constitutional Tribunal. Tusk justified the move by saying he must respond more firmly to opposition tactics, declaring: "When I see those bandit methods, I won't be a pushover — enough!" He signalled an increasingly assertive stance in the ongoing dispute over the tribunal.
