Changes to the Constitutional Court through Sejm resolutions “would be contrary to the Constitution and would lead to great harm to citizens.” This is what Małgorzata Paprocka, Minister in the President’s Chancellery, believes. She also negatively assessed the Tusk coalition’s ideas to allow 15-year-olds to buy the morning-after abortion pill without a prescription.
In early February, the head of the Prime Minister’s Chancellery, Jan Grabiec, said on RMF24 that the beginning of changes in the Constitutional Tribunal “will be a declaration of will, i.e. the presentation of draft laws or resolutions of the Sejm .” He added that minister Bodnar “works on projects and consults them extensively with the legal community.” According to Presidential Minister Małgorzata Paprocka, the announcements of changes to the Constitutional Court through resolutions are “a political action, without reflection on the consequences they have, not only for the legal order, a further deepening of the legal chaos, but especially for the citizens.” .”
The position of the President’s Chancellery on this issue is clear and based on expert opinion. There is no possibility of introducing changes in this way at the stage we are in, that is to say, after the judges have been elected, after they have been sworn in, after they have taken up their judicial duties.
– the presidential minister told journalists in the Sejm on Thursday, when asked whether the presidential palace would agree to the reform of the Constitutional Court through parliamentary resolutions. According to her, this would be directly contrary to the constitution.
Firstly, this would also be at the expense of the citizens who have derived their rights from these judgments
– Added Paprocka.
“The Morning After” without a prescription for teens
According to Paprocka, the KPRP has been following the morning-after pill project from the government work phase.
The doubts presented to the President’s Chancellery mainly concern the issue of age. And the fact that certain key elements, the possibilities of using these pills, are transferred to the scheme will not be regulated at the level of law. This is mainly a matter of prescribing, exactly which medications are prescribed
– said the presidential minister on Thursday in a conversation with journalists in the Sejm.
Paprocka pointed out that we currently have a legal system with different age limits; She referred, among other things, to the provisions of the Civil Code, which states that persons under the age of thirteen have no legal capacity, or the Criminal Code, which states that anyone who has sexual intercourse with a minor under the age of 15 is subject to the penalty of a imprisonment.
There is an age limit of sixteen years for consent for medical procedures, and there is an age limit of eighteen years
– said the minister in the KPRP.
She also pointed out that we have regulations regarding energy drinks and the use of tanning beds due to cancer. >The age limit is eighteen everywhere. I’m leaving aside the issues of alcohol and tobacco as stimulants
—- added Paprocka, who said “there is a far-reaching inconsistency here.”
There are the rights of parents, there are rights of patients. The law firm will certainly analyze it very carefully, also looking for and waiting for the opinions of experts in this field, not only lawyers, but especially doctors
- she emphasized. Paprocka also noted that the president’s decision will depend on the final form of the law.
We are at a very early stage of work. It is still difficult to say with certainty how this bill will emerge from the Sejm
– she emphasized.

The case against Kamiński and Wąsik is closed
Minister in the KPRP Małgorzata Paprocka ruled that the case involving Maciej Wąsik and Mariusz Kamiński was over from the perspective of the President’s Chancellery.
The President issued an act of clemency confirming the 2015 pardon, but there is no doubt in the Chancellery of the President that the gentlemen are Members of Parliament and it is not a matter of position or opinion, but it is clear from the statements of the Supreme Court in this case
– emphasized the minister.
However, the organizational issue, the admission of MPs and the access issues are an absolutely internal, parliamentary issue, within the legislature, and here no action can be taken by the President’s Chancellery.
– noted Paprocka.
