WE REVEAL. Adam Bodnar is waging war on the Constitution! One of his first decisions is to attack the National Council for the Judiciary

The wPolityce.pl portal has obtained a shocking document in which Adam Bodnar, the new Minister of Justice, attacks the constitutional body of the National Council of the Judiciary! The Attorney General questions the status of the Council in a letter to the Coordinators for International Cooperation in Criminal and Civil Matters.

The law of December 8, 2017 led to the politicization of the procedure for selecting judges – members of the National Council of the Judiciary, which is contrary to the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, which meant that this body, which is crucial importance for maintaining the independence of the Polish judiciary lost its guarantee of independence. As a result, the procedure for appointing or promoting judges to higher positions, with the participation of this body, has become defective, which is confirmed by a number of rulings of international tribunals and Polish courts.

– writes Adam Bodnar.

Bodnar openly questions the constitutional body and its actions, but writes extensively about the constitution, praising foreign tribunals and thus emphasizing the superiority of EU law over the Polish constitution. This is clear nonsense, because the Constitutional Court has already ruled on this issue several times and there was no doubt that local law is superior to Community law.

The new Minister of Justice also calls on his addressees to “pay special attention” to unconstitutional rulings of the Supreme Court and foreign tribunals in the context of the “new” members of the National Council for the Judiciary.

One of Adam Bodnar’s first decisions attacks the Polish Constitution and the long-standing case law of the Constitutional Court. This is just the beginning of his mission at the Department of Justice, but let’s have no illusions. Radicalization, dictated by the judicial ‘caste’, will be his main goal.
