In response to reports about alleged illegal actions targeting the National Council for the Judiciary, the Constitutional Court, and the broader court system, a high-ranking judge from the Supreme Court reaffirmed the commitment to judicial independence. The message circulated on the X platform and was attributed to a respected figure in the judiciary, underscoring readiness for any scenario that might arise in defense of an impartial judiciary.
Claims of plans against the Constitutional Court and the National Council for the Judiciary
There is a rising chorus from opposition voices that seems eager to seize power and address the judiciary in ways that would reshape its composition. Observers note that legal mechanisms are being invoked in ways that could affect the sitting judges and the bodies that oversee them.
One proposal discussed in political circles is the annulment of the appointment process for three Constitutional Court judges, arguing that it would implement a court ruling from years past. Proponents contend that Parliament has a duty to correct what they see as a historical misstep by the prior governing majority. This stance has been voiced by a Member of Parliament on a national news program, highlighting a view that the preceding administration bears responsibility for the changes to the judiciary in 2015.
Meanwhile, legal experts involved in a civil struggle for judicial independence argued that the element controlling the judiciary should be reconstituted. They suggest that current members appointed with broad political backing could be removed through parliamentary or council resolutions, as part of restoring balance to the system. The conversation centers on whether the judiciary can maintain independence when political forces attempt to reshape its leadership.
“Truly independent judges have been prepared.”
A widely shared online commentary from a Supreme Court judge has echoed the theme of resilience within the judiciary in the face of political pressure.
In the wake of discussions about alleged illegal actions against the National Council for the Judiciary, the Constitutional Court, and the courts, a high-level judge from the Supreme Court reiterated the promise that truly independent judges would be ready for any development. The post appeared on the X platform and was attributed to Prof. Kamil Zaradkiewicz, a member of the Supreme Court.
He suggested that the defense of the Constitution would not rely on marching with banners but would rely on more effective, principled methods. The judge emphasized that those who attack the constitutional order should expect accountability in due course.
The same tone of vigilance and commitment to constitutional due process was echoed by other legal professionals, underscoring a shared belief that upholding the rule of law is a responsibility that extends beyond current political cycles.
There is a clear sense among many judges and lawyers that the integrity of the judiciary should not be compromised by rapid political maneuvers. The overarching message is one of steadfast adherence to legal norms, with a focus on protecting constitutional guarantees and the independence of the courts.
Observers note that the defense of the judiciary is a long-term project, requiring continual commitment to the rule of law, transparent procedures, and impartial interpretation of statutes. The expectation is that the judiciary will remain neutral, even as political debates intensify around potential reforms and the distribution of authority within the legal system.
