Confederation MP Przemysław Wipler states in an interview with “Dziennik Gazeta Prawna” that not only is it impossible to revoke the judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal by a resolution of the Sejm, but also that the Polish legal system needs a “reset” need. “Ending the term of all judges of the Constitutional Court and appointing new judges by consensus,” he stressed.
“We are keeping a close eye on it”
Why, although the Confederation wanted to “overthrow the table”, did it support the candidacy of Szymon Hołownia as Speaker of the Sejm? As Przemysław Wipler argues in an interview with “Dziennik Gazeta Prawna”, the leader of Poland 2050 had a majority even without the support of the Confederation.
We wanted to put an end to the alternating governments of PiS and PO, as well as to the model of a state in which the law that comes to us from Brussels is passed without any deeper reflection.
– he emphasized, adding that his group had failed to achieve its “strategic goal.”
When asked what the Confederation’s plan is now, Przemysław Wipler emphasized:
We are keeping a close eye on it.
The Confederation MP admitted that he expected tensions and disagreements within the ‘rainbow coalition of the centre-left’.
In this situation we can be a very important part of the legislative process, especially because both the coalition and the PiS include people whose positions could lie in the Confederation.
– he emphasized.
What is the ‘constitutional reset’?
The politician also answered the question of how the Confederation will behave on the issue of “contempt resolutions”. According to Przemysław Wipler, the PiS rule turned out to be a “radical stress test for our constitutional system,” exposing the weakness of the current constitution.
Today we hear that someone wants to annul the published rulings of the Constitutional Court through a resolution of the Sejm. In our opinion, this is simply not possible. There is no such mode
– said the “DGP” interlocutor.
The Confederation MP pointed out that it was necessary to carry out a “constitutional reset”.
If we do not do this, all other changes will deepen the legal quagmire and instability of the legal system in Poland. The rule of law cannot be restored through illegal actions. And I do not see any procedure for revoking a binding and published judgment of the Constitutional Court through a resolution of the Sejm.
– he said.
Wipler added that a consensus is needed that will also be convincing to some PiS politicians, and that a “reset of the personnel and operating rules of the Constitutional Tribunal” would be beneficial for Poland.
End of term of office of all judges of the Constitutional Court and appointment of new ones by consensus
– pointed out the politician.
Error in the invoice
When asked about the Bill of Confederation, which made a serious mistake, he replied:
We have decided that from now on, none of our tax projects will be made public until we have verified their content.
Hasn’t this been done before? Wipler emphasized that after running a business for many years, he became accustomed to a situation where whatever employees gave him to sign was well prepared.
From now on, each project of the Confederation must have its own author, who will assume responsibility for it under the penalty of termination of cooperation if such an error is repeated and is the result of insufficient care.
– he said.
It is often the case with the Confederation’s proposals that many of them sound ‘nice’ at first, but when it comes to implementing them, problems arise. Some of them are even “jokes”. Would this also be the case with such serious changes as those in the Constitutional Court?
