“The attempt to appoint Prosecutor Dariusz Korneluk as National Prosecutor is ineffective because this position is filled by Prosecutor Dariusz Barski – emphasized the Prosecutors – Deputy Attorney General in a statement, published on the profile of the Association of Prosecutors “Ad vocem” on the X platform.
Prosecutors review Korneluk’s “appointment”!
The PG deputies recalled that an attempt to create a new PK “should not have taken place at all in view of the guarantees of the Constitutional Court in connection with the constitutional complaint of Dariusz Barski and in connection with the initiation of proceedings by the Constitutional Court. at the request of the President of the Republic of Poland to resolve the conflict of jurisdiction between the President of the Republic of Poland and the President of the Council Ministers and the Prosecutor General.
The prerequisite for making a decision to appoint a prosecutor to the position of National Prosecutor is to obtain the opinion of the President of the Republic of Poland. However, the President of the Republic of Poland never issued such an opinion regarding Prosecutor Korneluk. According to the position presented in the media by the Chancellery of the President, there is no doubt in the presidential center that the National Prosecutor is Dariusz Barski.
– we are reading.
The alleged position of National Prosecutor by Dariusz Korneluk is characterized by an even greater flaw than in the case of his predecessor, the so-called Acting National Prosecutor Jacek Bilewicz. It is recalled that the legal sine qua non condition for acting as a national prosecutor is to hold the title of Prosecutor of the National Public Prosecution Service. Prosecutor Jacek Bilewicz received this title legally, in a procedure with the participation of National Prosecutor Dariusz Barski – whose status was not questioned by the Attorney General at that time, but literally a few hours later, on the same day. However, prosecutor Dariusz Korneluk did not have the title of prosecutor of the Public Prosecution Service. If he had acquired it recently, he could only do it illegally, with the participation of so-called Acting National Prosecutor
– explained the PG delegates.
National Prosecutor Dariusz Barski has been critical of the “appointment” of prosecutor Dariusz Korneluk. As Deputy Attorney General, we sympathize with his words and express our support for him. By law, Dariusz Barski remains the national prosecutor
– we read in the statement.
“This situation must end immediately!”
The signatories of the letter emphasize that “the only way to overcome the crisis in which the Public Prosecution Service finds itself is to restore its legal status.”
Currently, chaos reigns, the most drastic manifestation of which is questioning the status of prosecutors. This state of affairs is the result of a violation of the law in January 2024 in an attempt to fire Dariusz Barski. This situation must end immediately! Taking into account the interests of citizens, especially victims of crime, and the interests of the Public Prosecution Service, including the need to ensure the effectiveness of the activities of newly appointed prosecutors and evaluators, constructive solutions should be introduced , in compliance with the law, which will remedy the situation at the public prosecutor’s office.
– it was written.
The statement was signed by the Deputy Attorney Generals: Krzysztof Sierak, Robert Hernand, Michał Ostrowski, Tomasz Janeczek and Andrzej Pozorski.
