“This is something incredible. This is such servility on the part of Prosecutor Bodnar, which has not happened before,” said Prosecutor Michał Ostrowski, Deputy Prosecutor General, on Telewizja wPolsce24, commenting on the scandalous event involving the Prosecutor General of Rhineland-Palatinate , Harald Kruse, was awarded the “Medal of Merit for the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Poland”. Prosecutor Robert Hernand also drew attention to what had happened at the Supreme Court. “After all, no one has declared Dariusz Barski’s appointment as National Prosecutor invalid and he is still involved in legal proceedings. There cannot be two National Prosecutors at the same time,” said guest editor Wojciech Biedroń.
What happened at the Supreme Court?
The Supreme Court refused to adopt a resolution on the legality of the election of Jacek Bilewicz and Dariusz Korneluk. The first of them claimed to be the acting National Prosecutor, while the second still considers himself a National Prosecutor. The Supreme Court ruled, among other things, that the case did not belong to the criminal court.
According to the Deputy Attorney General, Prosecutor Michał Ostrowski, Minister Adam Bodnar survived the so-called knockout.
When it comes to the Supreme Court, I wouldn’t say it has “washed its hands.” The Supreme Court refused to adopt a resolution, even though Mr Korneluk, who usurped the title of National Prosecutor, had previously expressed the expectation that a Supreme Court resolution would be issued in a different composition and that it would stipulate who would be the National Prosecutor. was. No such resolution exists; there is a refusal to accept it
– said prosecutor Ostrowski.

The only resolution is that of September 27 this year, which clearly establishes the status of National Prosecutor Dariusz Barski, stating that the provisions under which he returned from retirement are the applicable provisions.
– he added.

This is not the first expectation of Prosecutor Korneluk, because I would like to remind you that even before the immunity of Mr. Romanowski was lifted in the Sejm, Mr. Korneluk also expressed the expectation that a request for detention would be filed with the court . , and was even certain that such a request would be made. So this is a preview of future court decisions and this is something unusual and has an impact on prosecutors
– said guest editor Wojciech Biedroń on Telewizja wPolsce24.
It’s not just about Mr. Bilewicz and Mr. Korneluk. These include regional and district prosecutors, who were also appointed in violation of the law and the appointments are ineffective and have no legal effects.
– he emphasized.
Prosecutor Robert Hernand also spoke about what happened at the Supreme Court. Ed. Wojciech Biedroń asked why judges Michał Laskowski and Jarosław Matras did not recuse themselves from this case?
One request for judges only was made by the interest spokesperson, Mr Kwaśniewski. The remaining case concerned statements by social representatives in which the judge was asked to make a statement asking the judge to take revenge. The application was not accepted as properly filed because the jury found that the interest spokesperson was not entitled to such a request and on the remaining points the judges did not submit a statement for the minutes to exclude themselves. Very specific examples were given regarding Judge Laskowski’s statements and participation in the Codification Committee
– reported the deputy PG.
These rulings were based on the case law of the Supreme Court from the period 2022-2023
– he added.
The interviewer, editor Biedroń, recalled that in one of the television programs, Judge Laskowski mocked Public Prosecutor Barski in a rather random way.
This was also the opinion of the participants in these proceedings, but the court did not share this position. The decision at the Supreme Court was made and the issues regarding the grounds for exclusion were extensively discussed in the media before the meeting itself.
– added prosecutor Hernand.
The jury refused to adopt a resolution in this case, stating that this was the jurisdiction of the Administrative Court, and the judge also stated that until the act of appointing lawyer Jacek Bilewicz to perform the duties of the PK is declared invalid , it is still valid. valid. Let’s remember one thing. When the court stated that it does not really have jurisdiction to rule on this issue (…), the judge included a wording that falls outside the content of the decision, but is factually adjacent to it. So it doesn’t matter. The conclusion from this goes further. After all, no one has declared Dariusz Barski’s appointment as National Prosecutor invalid and he is still involved in legal proceedings.
– he explained.
There cannot be two National Prosecutors at the same time
– emphasized prosecutor Hernand.

Bodnar’s Servilism
Prosecutor Ostrowski also clearly commented on the scandalous event in which the Prosecutor General of Rhineland-Palatinate, Harald Kruse, was awarded the medal “Medal of Merit for the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Poland”. He called it ‘servilism on Bodnar’s part’.

This is something incredible. This is such servility on the part of Prosecutor Bodnar, which has never happened before. This is the first time that a foreigner has received the medal “Medal of Merit to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Poland”. And the justification is that Mr Kruse as a politician, as a member of the national parliament, is in fact the equivalent of our provincial assembly, because this is Rhineland-Palatinate. Apart from the fact that this is the federal state furthest from the Regional Prosecutor’s Office in Gdańsk, which would conclude an agreement with the prosecutor and former politician, Mr. Harald Kruse.
Why did he get this medal? He received this medal for coming to Poland and obtaining information from prosecutors and judges. Because he did not meet with the management of the Ministry of Justice or the management of the Public Prosecutor’s Office and he, according to the justification, received this gold medal for Germany
– emphasized prosecutor Ostrowski, adding that the information obtained by the German prosecutor was one-sided and unverified.
He went to Germany, to the EU, and had to ‘restore the rule of law’. Here the word ‘rule of law’ replaces the word ‘law’. We have an example of a press conference of a lady who is a spokesperson for the Attorney General, who threatened a journalist and, when asked about the Constitutional Court and Prosecutor Barski, explained to the journalist that this was the “rule of law”. NO. We’re talking about the law.
