Controversy over a high-profile arrest case and alleged judicial bias
A bold claim was aired during a press conference when a member of parliament argued that the arrest case involving a defended figure might involve evidence of misconduct by a sitting judge. The speaker, joined by another colleague, expressed shock over a sudden change in the panel of jurors in the Romanowski matter. There was emphasis on the judge who reportedly moved to exclude another member of the judiciary, a move described as troubling and potentially improper.

Preparations were underway for a formal note to the prosecutor’s office, intended to address the concerns raised. The discussion also highlighted a figure within the judiciary who publicly aligned with political statements, occasionally criticizing a major political party with blunt honesty. He is described as active in the political arena and as someone who takes a clear stance against certain political forces while working within the justice system.
– The parliamentarian emphasized.
This is a breach of constitutional norms
In earlier years, the same judge reportedly sought to challenge the immunity of a government minister and suggested possible legal actions. There were further messages suggesting that the person in question could be advised on medical matters, and the description painted him as someone who should not have connections with the judicial system due to political engagement.
– The parliamentarian continued.
This stance was described as a violation of the constitution and a breach of the ethical standards governing the legal system. It was argued that a judge who openly voices political opinions should not be involved in cases concerning politicians from a particular political bloc.
– The speaker underlined.
Concerns about the jury process
According to a defense representative, the remarks made during the press conference would be submitted to the leadership of the European legal assembly for consideration. The situation is being observed closely by international bodies and will be reported in forthcoming assessments of the rule of law across the European Union, including Poland.
