This statement frames a challenge to the state’s constitutional order as an ongoing issue. A member of the European Parliament, Patryk Jaki, asserted via social media that the actions in question amount to an attack on the nation’s governance. He referenced remarks from Szymon Hołownia, who at a press event indicated he had written to the President of the Labor Chamber of the Supreme Court to address the rejection of a Mandate termination by Maciej Wąsik and Mariusz Kamiński. Hołownia emphasized that the matter should be escalated to a body that would not undermine the public trust in the judiciary and the rule of law within a democratic system.
A mustache with a mandate. Hołownia rocks
Initial reporting from the wPolityce.pl portal indicated that the Supreme Court Chamber for Extraordinary Scrutiny and Public Affairs had reversed a decision by the Speaker of the Sejm regarding the expiry of MP Maciej Wąsik’s mandate. During a press conference, Hołownia stated that he had submitted the appeals from Maciej Wąsik and Mariusz Kamiński concerning the termination to the Chamber of Labour and Social Security of the Supreme Court and awaited a response from that chamber. Hołownia noted that the reference number suggested documents possibly mailed by Wąsik formed the basis of the ruling, though the verification was still underway. He also reported receiving a letter but lacking any clear substantiation.
He added that he did not know which documents the decision relied on and confirmed his belief that a fair process was essential. In a subsequent letter to Piotr Prusinowski, the President of the Labor Chamber of the Supreme Court, Hołownia stated his request to entrust the case to a jury that would avoid undermining the judiciary’s credibility within a democratic society and its rule of law.

– Are these the elites of the political spectrum associated with Tusk? A deputy minister suggested the Supreme Court would not determine whether Kamiński and Wąsik are serving as parliamentarians, highlighting ongoing debates about judicial authority and political influence.
“Yes, what they are doing is an attack on the state system.”
Patryk Jaki, a member of Sovereign Poland, commented on social platforms that the actions in question could be described as an attack on the state’s institutional framework. He argued that the involved parties appeared to disregard the Constitution, the President’s decisions, and existing laws as well as Supreme Court rulings because they placed higher importance on their own interpretations. Jaki noted a pattern where politicians previously asserted the need to defend the constitution and the rule of law, yet when court judgments did not align with their views, they rejected those judgments and attempted to appoint preferred judges. When laws did not suit them or the Constitution hindered their aims, they sought alternative legal grounds. He concluded that these moves amounted to an attack on the state system and warned of accountability that would endure beyond current political cycles.
