““Projects to reform the Constitutional Tribunal are a “legislative monster” that should be thrown in the trash; the PiS club calls for these projects to be rejected in their entirety at the second reading,” said MP Krzysztof Szczucki (PiS).
In the Sejm, the second reading of bills to reform the Constitutional Court is underway. Szczucki judged during the debate that, although more than forty amendments were made to the projects, “they are still nonsense”.
It is true that you have withdrawn from the very bad idea of initiating disciplinary proceedings against judges by the Attorney General, but it is still a legislative monster that should be thrown into the legislative dustbin.
– the politician added.
“Why do you want to destroy TK?”
Why do you want to destroy the Constitutional Court? Do you find it annoying that judges rule in accordance with the constitution? That they consider laws as unconstitutional that were passed even though the members of parliament with the mandate were not allowed to vote?
– asked the PiS MP, turning to the government.
You are crossing boundaries that should not be crossed. Then everyone can do whatever they want with the verdict and with whatever judge
– added.
The parliamentary club Law and Justice requests that the parliamentary bill on the Constitutional Court and the law introducing the provisions for the implementation of the law on the Constitutional Court be rejected in their entirety at second reading.
– said Szczucki.
Reform of the Constitutional Court
The drafts of the Constitutional Tribunal reform were submitted to the Sejm in early March this year; they were signed by members of the ruling coalition. The first reading of the draft of a new law on the Constitutional Tribunal and the law containing provisions for the implementation of the reform took place in late April. Together with the already adopted resolution of the Sejm and the proposal to amend the Constitution, they form a package of comprehensive reforms of the Constitutional Tribunal presented in early March by the head of the Ministry of Justice, Adam Bodnar, and politicians of the ruling coalition.
A week ago, the Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Human Rights completed work on both projects. It introduced numerous amendments to the planned regulations, but mainly those proposed by the Legislative Bureau of Parliament, which were of a legislative and editorial nature.
