Dorn requests vetting decision delay

Dorn told the press yesterday that he wanted more time for his Law and Justice (PiS) colleague who represents the Sejm before the Tribunal to better prepare for the case. Meanwhile a great number of people are waiting for the Tribunal's verdict on this issue, holding off submission of their vetting declarations in the meantime. This includes academics, journalists and lawyers. In theory the deadline for submissions is May 15 and each person who does not submit it can be fined and dismissed from running a "public function". Therefore the Tribunal had planned to run the issue on the 9th, 10th and 11th of May in order to prepare its verdict before the deadline. It is to announce on Wednesday how Dorn's request be treated.
