You are the ones who named this position Rotary Marshal. You should blame your own people – said the outgoing Minister of Education and Science, Przemysław Czarnek, in the Sejm, in response to the Sejm chairman’s accusation that Minister Czarnek “violated the dignity of this chamber and its organs” by addressing him as “Mr. . Rotating speaker”.
On Tuesday afternoon, the Sejm elected Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz (KO), Robert Kropiwnicki (KO), Tomasz Zimoch (Polska 2050) and Anna Maria Żukowska (left) to the National Council for the Judiciary. The Sejm has rejected four candidates submitted by PiS.
In the debate preceding the vote, Minister Czarnek addressed the President of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia: “Mr. Speaker, Mr. Rotary Speaker.”
I am very sorry, but at this moment, Mr Minister, you are violating the dignity of this Chamber and its bodies. You have three minutes to speak
– Hołownia intervened.
You’re the one who named this role Rotating Marshal, it’s not us; why are you complaining about this? You can blame your own people
– said Czarnek.
Mr. Speaker, there is a good rule: don’t measure someone by your own standard. You are now abusing the regulations, and you have been talking about abuses of the law since before I came forward. For God’s sake, don’t measure someone by your standard
– added.
Minister, you are using your time
– Hołownia responded.
Mr President, now I say: these are the norms in a democratic chamber. Well, we are dealing not only with far-reaching insolence, but even with political insolence. A representative of the left, who received 1.8 million votes in these elections, just emerged from this stage, replacing Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, who was a member of the Election Commission, who received 7.6 million votes. If you count correctly, Mr Śmiszek, but you do not count correctly, there are almost six million more voters who cast their votes on the electoral list on which Minister Ziobro was included. And you just kicked Minister Ziobro out of politics from this stage? You have driven more than 6 million people from this country. They don’t matter to you, they don’t mean anything to you, and these are not democratic norms. Democracy means that people have a voice, and not ‘Śmiszki’ who cannot count
– replied Czarnek.
Do you remember who tabled amendments to the Constitutional Court Law in 2015, including the attack on the Constitutional Court that you carried out during that shameful 2011-2015 term, which allowed you to elect two judges to the Constitutional Court? Completely unconstitutional. He then declared these amendments unconstitutional? TK headed by Mr Rzepliński. Do you know who tabled these amendments? Including Mr Kropiwnicki, whom you now want to add to the National Council for the Judiciary
– added.
“You lack logic”
The outgoing head of MEiN drew attention to the lack of consistency on the part of the opposition.
For almost eight years we have been hearing that there is no National Court Register. That there is a neo-KRS and that in principle none of this works. And today they select their candidates for something that doesn’t exist. You lack logic
– he said.
You lack logic, simple logic. And if there is no logic, there is no democracy. Learn democracy, the constitution, don’t cry about it, just read it once
– added.
