The incident occurred during an emotionally charged debate ahead of a vote on the candidacy of a new judge for Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal. When Kosiniak-Kamysz took the podium, one female lawmaker made sounds resembling a dog barking.

Stefaniak said the outburst came from the right-wing opposition, which he described as the “pathocracy,” a term meaning “pathological rightists.”

The incident comes amid broader tensions in Poland’s parliament over relations with Ukraine.
