The Supreme Court of Poland overturned the Parliament's rejection of a referendum petition regarding territorial division, ordering the petition to be processed by the Speaker. The petitioner argued that the Parliament lacked authority to refuse the request and that the petition met legal requirements with 500,000 signatures. The Court held that the Parliament's refusal was invalid because the Constitution and referendum law do not grant it the power to reject petitions, and the Speaker must handle such requests instead.
