The Sejm is not a reviewer of the Constitutional Court. There is a separation of powers, clear and transparent. (…) You cannot judge judges in the form of a resolution, the President of the Constitutional Court, Julia Przyłębska, said on Telewizja wPolska.
The President of the Constitutional Court reviewed the resolution adopted by the Sejm on the Constitutional Court.
It says that I am not authorized to head the Constitutional Court. This is a resolution that should not be adopted by the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, which takes itself seriously. None of the areas in which the resolution was adopted is an area that could be regulated in such a legal form.
– she said Julia Przyłębska.
The Sejm is not a reviewer of the Constitutional Court. There is a separation of powers, clear and transparent. (…) Judges cannot be judged in the form of a decision
– she said.
By such illegal and unlawful resolution, they are trying to incite various organs of state power to act illegally.
– she said, referring to the action of the parliamentary majority.
Evaluating judges based on their activities creates an incentive for different entities to act in different ways. This is incitement to commit a crime
– she noted.
Will the three judges of the Constitutional Court leave?
There is no way. There are no reports of Constitutional Tribunal judges reacting in this way. Various proposals, intimidation that I would be reported to the prosecutor’s office. Someone who does this does not understand that he is committing a crime and interfering with the powers of the third estate
– she said.
Can judges be physically removed from the Constitutional Court?
I can’t imagine, I don’t want to tell stories. The judges of the Constitutional Tribunal have immunity and I cannot imagine such a situation
– replied the President of the Constitutional Court.
Julia Przyłębska commented on the accusations about the high merits of the judges of the Constitutional Court.
When it comes to salaries, we spend almost half every month on retirement benefits for people who are no longer judges, and they and their families benefit from this benefit for life.
– she said, emphasizing that it did not matter that the decisions in this matter were signed by the current President of the Constitutional Court.
People who receive these benefits attack the Constitutional Court and often attack the Constitutional Court in a way that, in my opinion, is unbecoming of a former judge of the Constitutional Court.
– she noted.
The President of the Constitutional Court referred to yesterday’s discussion in the Sejm on the occasion of the adoption of a resolution on the Constitutional Court.
The level of the discussion, the speech, there was no substantive argument. There were insults, shouting and primitive arguments
– she said.
Julia Przyłębska emphasized that her critics in the Sejm are probably not even aware of the Constitutional Court’s rulings
There are numerous constitutional complaints. I suspect that the critics of the Constitutional Court have not even paid attention to the rulings of the Constitutional Court, they are not interested at all, they have remained in the world of bubbles, stories about the Constitutional Court
– she said.
Yesterday I listened to the voices of Confederation MPs treating the Constitution with respect. The idea of this reset is of course an idea. I’m talking about the idea of changing the constitution. The constitution was adopted at a certain point in time, it is the state of the image of society at a certain point in time. I respect this Constitution because it is the will of the sovereign. However, in any case, there may be an idea: “let’s change the constitution”
– she noted.
The anarchy that has been achieved is an act against the citizens
Should the case of violations of the law by institutions controlled by Tusk’s coalition be resolved in the future?
Depending on which entity committed these violations, yes, because it also has certain consequences for citizens. This anarchy that has currently been achieved (…) is an act against the citizens
– she said.
Julia Przyłębska was asked why she did not come to the Sejm in a T-shirt with the inscription “Constitution”
It would be humorous, but this is a serious office, it is one of the ruling elements of this country. I have the impression that the elections are not taken seriously, it is the politicians’ fault, people do not take them seriously. (…) You cannot build a program on the destruction of the state (…). In the end, we will all lose and everyone will be affected by the crisis introduced to us by the irresponsible behavior of politicians.
– she answered.
