“We have adopted without unnecessary discussion several draft regulations that are of great importance for our system and the reputation of Poland,” Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference, assuring that Justice Minister Adam Bodnar will continue his work. The politician noted that the Constitutional Court’s “repair” might have to wait until the presidential elections.
The Council of Ministers adopted draft regulations regarding: the Codification Commission of the Judiciary and the Public Prosecution Service, the establishment of the Codification Commission of Criminal Law, the Codification Commission of Civil Law and the Codification Commission of Family Law.
The regulations aim to establish four codification committees that will make changes to the Criminal Code, the Civil Code and the Family Code, as well as to the law relating to the judicial and prosecutorial system.
According to the Ministry of Justice, the Codification Committee of the Judiciary and the Public Prosecution Service will develop draft legal provisions relating to the judiciary and the public prosecutor’s office. She will support the Minister of Justice in the legislative process regarding the projects that are being developed.
The Commission will consist of: the Chairman of the Commission, the Vice-Chairman of the Commission, members of the Commission ranging from 8 to 14 persons and the Secretary of the Commission.
The Commission will include representatives of science as well as people with excellent practical knowledge of the law, the legal system and the prosecution.
- emphasized in the project.
“I have already said this to the president.”
Prime Minister Donald Tusk ruled on Tuesday that some proposals to reform the Constitutional Court would “certainly” be rejected by President Andrzej Duda. If this happens, the Prime Minister assured, the government will again try to adopt changes to the Constitutional Court after the next presidential elections.
On Monday, Justice Minister Adam Bodnar and politicians from the ruling coalition presented the principles of draft laws to reform the Constitutional Court.
I am aware that some of these projects will certainly be vetoed by the President, but I have already told the President that in my opinion he is missing the opportunity to fix what he and PiS broke.
– said the Prime Minister at a press conference after the government meeting.
In the event of a veto, as he emphasized, the government will again try to make changes to the Constitutional Court by parliament after the election of the new president.
Just because we try now doesn’t mean we won’t try again after the presidential election – if the president vetoes it.
– said Tusk.
We will do everything we can to make people feel that we are a law-abiding country, even if we do not yet have the ability to change all the laws, let alone the Constitution. But we will keep doing it
– concluded the Prime Minister.
The following drafts were presented on Monday: Resolutions of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland; the Law on the Constitutional Court, drawn up by non-governmental organizations, and the law containing provisions implementing this law and the draft amendments to the Constitution. According to the announcement, the Sejm will consider the draft resolution on Wednesday. In turn, work on the draft amendments to the constitution will begin this week in the Senate Legislative Committee.
What does Donald Tusk think the words “we will do anything” mean? Do they also involve locking up members of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland in prisons, forcibly taking over the public media and admitting “strong people” into their offices, entering the prosecutor’s office with usurpers, creating non-existent positions, sticking signs on cupboards? and blocking employees’ access to rooms, and other scandalous stories? that we handled in less than three months? And how are people supposed to think that we are a law-abiding country after all this?
