In a discussion on Debate po Wiadomości wPolsce24, Mariusz Gosek of Sovereign Poland argued that almost every rule in the area could be broken and that the legal system had been trampled in a specific order. He cited the Head of State, the President and his prerogatives, the Constitutional Court, and ultimately the Supreme Court, stressing that such conduct is unacceptable.
Dariusz Barski attended the Public Prosecution Service headquarters in Warsaw on Monday, but access was blocked. He asserted that as the country’s public prosecutor, he must be allowed to fulfill his official duties.
All legal institutions trampled
In the program Debate po Wiadomości wPolsce24, Marta Kielczyk hosted guests including MP Mariusz Gosek from Sovereign Poland, MP Łukasz Osmalak from Poland 2050, and Marek Woch, a nonpartisan local-government official.
Gosek argued that dismissing the National Prosecutor requires written consent from the President, while appointment rests with presidential discretion. The president is the guardian of the constitution. Poland remains a constitutional democracy governed by the rule of law, as set out in its Constitution. The speakers contend that many rules in this area have been violated and that legal institutions have been trampled, from the Head of State and his prerogatives, to the Constitutional Court, and finally the Supreme Court. Such behaviour is unacceptable.
I feel sorry for Minister Bodnar
A participant stated that the law should be respected and that Poland must remain a constitutional state. He expressed sympathy for Minister Bodnar, acknowledging the minister faces a difficult position. The discussion suggested that the actions of the United Right group were interpreted as an attack on the system and the law, sparking calls for accountability. Królik and colleagues were described as occupying every available position, with a sense that the current arrangement needed reconsideration. Bodnar’s mission was portrayed as especially demanding.
In the same exchange, the panel highlighted the country’s system of separation of powers. Legislative, executive and judicial branches operate independently. The executive is led by the President and the Council of Ministers, while the legislative power rests with parliamentarians and senators. Courts and tribunals are a separate and independent authority acting on behalf of the Republic. Conversations about overturning established norms do not align with legal language. Bodnar was portrayed as holding a significant and challenging role within the system.
We have a legal mess
There was a strong assertion that the Minister of Justice does not control how courts rule, and that this must remain unchanged. The discussion warned of total legal chaos and the danger that criminals could exploit such disorder. It was suggested that the issue, while serious, is not insurmountable, and that Bodnar’s role within the Polish legal framework could be part of the broader problem.
