Polish parliament elects Berek to Constitutional Tribunal, coalition hopes to skip queue

Poland's Sejm elected Maciej Berek, until recently a senior government official, as a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal. The ruling coalition hopes Berek will be sworn in without waiting in the queue for presidential approval, bypassing standard practice. Critics note the coalition has abandoned the standards it previously declared — seven distinguished professors had previously stood as candidates without success.
