They don’t even hide it! Lawyer Sylwia Gregorczyk-Abram argued on the initiative of the “Free Courts” that the situation in the National Council for the Judiciary should be “cured” by reappointing some of its judicial members. She even stated that judges can be dismissed from the National Council for the Judiciary through… a resolution. Strong responses appeared online, including: From a Supreme Court judge.
So there is no more “neoKRS”?
MPs Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz (KO), Robert Kropiwnicki (KO), Tomasz Zimoch (Poland 2050) and Anna Maria Żukowska (left) were elected by the Sejm as members of the National Council for the Judiciary on Tuesday afternoon. However, the Sejm rejected four candidates proposed by PiS; they were: Marek Ast, Bartosz Kownacki, Kazimierz Smoliński and Arkadiusz Mularczyk; all four were previously members of the National Council for the Judiciary on behalf of the Sejm.
Let us not forget that the National Council of the Judiciary consists of: the First President of the Supreme Court, the Minister of Justice, the President of the Supreme Administrative Court and a person appointed by the President of the Republic of Poland, 15 members elected from among the judges are four members elected by the Sejm and two members elected by the Senate; according to the constitution, the term of office of elected members of the National Council for the Judiciary is four years.

A lawyer from “Free Courts” has such an idea
Meanwhile, more and more loud ideas are emerging to quickly carry out specific purges, including: in the National Council for the Judiciary!
To cure this situation [w KRS – red.]the judicial part of the National Council for the Judiciary must be reappointed
– said lawyer Sylwia Gregorczyk-Abram openly on TVN24 of the “Free Courts” initiative. And what does he mean by the word ‘healing’? Probably nothing more than purges and regression?
The lawyer also stated that the judges currently serving on the National Council of the Judiciary, appointed by the Sejm with PiS votes, could be dismissed… through a resolution (sic!).
So we leave the legally elected representatives of the President or the Sejm, because this is the, let’s say, legal part of the Council. The fifteen members must be appointed in a manner consistent with the Constitution. That is to say, by the judicial community, because this is the operation of the National Council for the Judiciary. It would of course be best to do this with the law on the National Council for the Judiciary, which should be introduced as soon as possible
– she said, but the president’s veto could be a problem for such ambitions.
There are actually several of these statements and the president should take them into account (…). However, there are also such voices and I would really investigate this procedure to dismiss these illegally appointed members of the National Council of the Judiciary by resolution of the Sejm, because they were also appointed by resolution of the Sejm. Destroy this resolution, which was a violation of the Constitution
– Gregorczyk-Abram said on TVN24. According to her, “this would be a legal way to recall and nullify the election of these members.” Real?!
However, we are then confronted with a situation in which we suspend the National Council for the Judiciary for a while, because we cannot appoint new members of the National Council for the Judiciary outside the law.
– she added.
“Oddity”
The lawyer’s ideas of “Free Courts” were met with strong responses from politicians, publicists, as well as a Supreme Court judge.
If the Sejm decided to adopt such a resolution, it would have no legal force as there is no legal basis for issuing it. The Sejm might as well issue a resolution that Mrs Gregorczyk-Abram is the President of the Republic of Poland or that the earth is flat. With the same legal effect. So none
– said Deputy Minister of Justice Sebastian Kaleta.
The resolution of the philatelic circle is sufficient. It will be just as effective
– wrote Judge Kamil Zaradkiewicz at the Supreme Court.
What a nice trick. Lech Falandysz would not be ashamed of such a ‘creative interpretation’. Although at the time it was the National Broadcasting Council and not the National Council of the Judiciary. What the opposition is proposing is a pure act that is against the law
– said Andrzej Śliwka, Deputy Head of MAP.
The representative of the “Free Courts” once again draws a plan to violate the constitution, break the separation of powers and destroy the law-abiding order in the country. Strange
– said Oskar Szafarowicz, activist of the PiS Youth Forum.
We will reform the Constitutional Court through a resolution, we will heal the National Council of the Judiciary through a resolution, and we will also revoke the rulings of the Constitutional Court through a resolution. But let us not later say that the rule of law is just a fig leaf needed to seize power
– wrote journalist Marcin Makowski.
