In the Interest of the Homeland's Prosperity, Civic Platform Members Call for an Immediate Cessation of Attempts to Pressure Independent Judges. National Convention Adopts Resolution - An Appeal to the Sejm
A group of MPs has submitted a bill to the Polish parliament, a bill that vividly recalls the worst solutions from a rightfully bygone era. The worst solutions, known only and exclusively to totalitarian systems, which have nothing in common with democracy, freedom, and the separation of powers. Today is a day when a clear and unambiguous declaration concerning this bill is expected from the strongest opposition party, from the National Convention of Civic Platform - said Borys Budka during the PO convention.
Budka proposed a resolution to the National Convention, which serves as an appeal regarding the Sejm bill concerning the courts.
"We hereby call on the representatives of the parliamentary majority to immediately cease work on the parliamentary bill amending the act on the organization of common courts, the Supreme Court, and certain other acts. The proposals put forth by Law and Justice MPs are inconsistent with the constitution, European law, the principles of the rule of law, and in particular, the principle of the separation of powers. They constitute repression, an attempt to limit judicial independence, and ultimately an assault on the democratic order of our country. We perceive the presented proposals for changes as an attempt to forcefully exclude Poland from European communities and the circle of Western civilization. The National Convention of Civic Platform expresses its unequivocal support for all actions aimed at the proper execution of the European Court of Justice's rulings. Full respect for these rulings is the duty of all state bodies. In the interest of our homeland's prosperity, members of Civic Platform call for an immediate cessation of attempts to pressure independent judges and independent courts."The resolution was adopted by acclamation.
