Szymon Hołownia announced that there is already political consent regarding changes in the Constitutional Tribunal. – We have agreed on the content of the documents, but changes regarding the Constitutional Tribunal will be processed only at the next session of the Sejm – he announced.

Changes in the Constitution. Hołownia announced the dates

– The matter of the Constitutional Tribunal must be resolved. We have a clear opinion on this matter, the text has been agreed with all political forces, there is a draft act, there is a draft amendment to the Constitution – added Hołownia.

He expects that everything will be ready for the next session of the Sejm in two weeks.

Ultimately, the ruling coalition managed to determine the content of the act and changes to the Constitution.
