Tusk began to use methods of a limited state of emergency without its formal declaration, to forcibly violate the constitutional prerogatives of the president and concentrate full power in his hands.
– He wrote Jan Rokita in the weekly magazine “Sieci” in mid-January. A customs diagnosis, recognized as his own by that part of the political world that does not participate.
What gives him this opportunity? The acquiescence of the domestic base (including silent university law schools and the applauding media, which has howled at every ‘unconstitutional’ point in recent years) and support from Berlin and Brussels for the brutal suppression of ‘unreasonable Polish patriotism’. They are happy with short-term gains, they are happy with the belief that they are testing the perfect way to defeat “populists”, that is, forces of common sense that can stop their crazy ideas.
With each passing day, this “limited emergency,” forcefully introduced by Tusk, becomes less and less limited. We are quickly sliding into a brutal dictatorship. It is no longer just TVP, the National Bank of Poland, the National Council for the Judiciary and the National Prosecutor’s Office that are being taken over by the authorities through police action. The minister comes in, with no legal basis, with a hastily concocted resolution under his arm, and they change the locks and evict people who are authorized by the statutes and elected to office.
The media is happy that no one ever thought Tusk would be so efficient. They don’t know the history: that’s what Bierut and Jaruzelski did, that’s what all occupiers did. In every African country plagued by coups, this is what a warlord does who triumphs at the next turn of history. This is what all tyranny and all lawlessness consists of.
How naive the PiS quarrels look against this background. They added a comma to the law and moved another paragraph – but parliament passed it, the president signed it and the Constitutional Court checked it. And so the roar was heard all over the world. And our local German-born dictator does no such thing. He sends the police and that’s it.
Excuse me: earlier media associated with it attempt to terrorize victims by printing precise attack schedules. Let them feel the powerlessness of righteous people in a system of lawlessness.
The president is right Jaroslaw Kaczynski while in her statement on Thursday, warning against an attack on the Constitutional Court, she states that we are dealing with the annulment of the basic principles of the separation of powers in Poland.
The abolition of the system of division and balance between individual authorities will lead to Poland not changing its place on the map. is located outside Europe. The attack on the Constitutional Court will be another step towards the systemic lawlessness that has been consistently introduced in Poland in recent weeks.
It must be strongly emphasized that the Constitutional Court is a state organ independent of the government and parliament. It is a pillar of the Polish legal system without which it is impossible to imagine any real control over the legislative and executive branches. Demolishing this pillar would mean: destruction of the political system of the Republic of Polandbased on the separation of powers – and a return to the pre-1989 mono-power system, in which the ruling party has complete dominance over the state and total control over all its citizens.
Citizens will soon have to pay for this murderous act, which only serves the contractors’ external clients. The President of Law and Justice warns:
What is worse, this action is already undermining the effectiveness of the Public Prosecution Service in all criminal cases and resulting in a very serious risk of thousands of criminals being exonerated of responsibility for their actions.
Adam Bodnar’s questioning of the authority of the National Prosecutor – who is the superior of all prosecutors (Article 13(2) of the Public Prosecution Act) – raises doubts as to whether a prosecutor in Poland is a competent prosecutor in criminal proceedings . This applies to both ongoing procedures and many completed cases.
Defendant lawyers across Poland are aware of this and have been preparing for several weeks now on an increasingly large scale requests to end the criminal proceedings and overturn the judgments passed against their clients. These activities are expected to become massive in the coming weeks.
This will lead to the release of thousands of people convicted of crimes and the avoidance of criminal liability by an even larger group of suspects. The actions of the Attorney General that led to this are not only illegal, but also extremely incompetent.
READ THE FULL STATEMENT: A strong statement from the PiS President on the situation in Poland! “We call on the government to respect the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and its laws”
The Polish state system is being destroyed, basic Western legal principles are being rejected, and no amount of propaganda can address this. It is also impossible to return to the previous state.
Because Tusk probably thinks, as Rokita estimates, that he will somehow legalize all this over time, probably after the presidential election or an illegal impeachment of the president. Andrzej Duda, this state of emergency will be lifted and the rule of law will return. All these events will be hidden in a drawer under the name of “necessary contempt” and a new “painful transformation.”
The point is: it’s not possible. First of all because the authorities have already tasted this political blood and it will want it when it encounters resistance – and there is always resistance, even under communism social life was a constant clash of interests and views. Secondly, because this part of Poland, which today is humiliated and has its rights trampled under the thumb of the police, will not agree to such a settlement.
Murder came under the guise of concern for the rule of law, lawlessness was disguised as a T-shirt with this inscription.
In fact, the Polish political system that was essentially formed after 1989 – and more or less respected by all teams – no longer exists. We have a new, incredibly primitive, cruel, destructive country: the winner takes all, cuts his predecessors to the bone, is not limited by any rules.
After just seven weeks under Tusk’s rule, the constitution is now a piece of paper. This was done to Poland by people who even wrote this word on their underwear.
What is astonishing is their belief that they have saddled Poland forever, that nothing will ever happen here again, that the authorities will never change and that there will be no punishment for crimes against democracy and the rule of law.
I don’t think they’re right.
P.S. I recommend a new television in Poland – ask your cable company!
