At 9:00, the second reading of the so-called bill on disciplining judges, submitted by PiS, will take place. The PiS proposal is most likely to be adopted in a block of votes between 13:00 and 15:00. At that time, the Sejm will also elect Rafał Wojciechowski as a judge of the Constitutional Tribunal, appoint members of the National Electoral Commission (PKW), and address Senate amendments to two laws: on raising excise duty on stimulants and on financing the 13th pension (concerning the Solidarity Fund).

Directly after the votes, around 15:00, a meeting of the parliamentary committee for special services will be held. The agenda includes an opinion on the Prime Minister's motion to dismiss Andrzej Kowalski from the position of head of the Military Intelligence Service and to appoint Marek Łapiński to the position of head of the Military Intelligence Service.

Furthermore, the parliamentary committee will consider and provide an opinion to the Marshal of the Sejm on the Civic Platform (KO) club's motions to present to the Sejm "information from Mariusz Kamiński regarding irregularities in the actions of special services taken against Marian Banaś from 2015 to the present day," as well as the Left (Lewica) club's motion to present to the Sejm "information from the Prime Minister regarding irregularities in the actions of special services taken from 2015 to the present day against Marian Banaś."

At 11:30, President Andrzej Duda will participate in the ceremony of handing over four Sikorsky S-70i helicopters to the Special Forces. Meanwhile, at 17:30, a ceremony for the appointment of members of the State Tribunal will take place in the Sejm.

- The opposition has given no gift. We are currently after overnight proceedings of the justice committee in the Sejm, where the opposition behaved as usual, meaning no substantive discussion, no concern for the fate of the Polish justice system, only constant brawling, obstruction, an attempt to break up the proceedings, an attempt to ensure that this bill, which is essential today for the Polish justice system to function at all and to give citizens a sense of stabilization, stability, does not come into force. Fortunately, this situation was brought under control. Today, we will proceed with the bill. I hope the Sejm passes it today - stated Jacek Sasin on "Sygnały dnia" PR1.

- We know today because there is a declaration from Prime Minister Gowin that he and his political camp support this draft [bill disciplining judges]. This is also a result of adopting certain suggestions and amendments. The amendments formulated by Prime Minister Gowin have been agreed upon with the entire political camp of United Right and PiS, but also with Solidarna Polska, because it was MPs from Solidarna Polska who introduced this bill. Just tonight, these amendments, over 20 amendments submitted by the PiS parliamentary club, were adopted. Following these amendments, which primarily addressed, among other things, the main concerns of Prime Minister Gowin regarding judges' activity on social media, significant changes were made. Today, we know that there are no controversies within United Right regarding the content of this bill. We also have a statement from Minister Mucha from the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, who confirms that the President in no way endorses the opposition's claims that we are dealing with an assault on the constitutional order or judicial independence. There is simply nothing of the sort in this bill - stated Jacek Sasin in "Sygnały dnia" on PR1.

- The very premise and goal of this [judges disciplinary] act are obvious, and I absolutely agree with it. Regarding the details, it's evident that some amendments were made during the Sejm's work. Perhaps some amendments will still need to be introduced in the Senate to this act, but the most important thing is the goal. The goal is to bring order to the system – stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Robert Mazurek on RMF FM.

- The way this [bill on disciplining judges] is being processed, the text of the bill, is reminiscent of the worst times of the previous term. It's not as easy today as it was then, because there is the Senate. The Senate, where the opposition has a majority, and this law will be thoroughly scrutinized and I am convinced it will be fundamentally improved or rejected – stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon".

- We have a national board and we will discuss this. We cannot leave it like this. It's a great disappointment. There will be [something more than financial penalties]. I will present this to the board, we will discuss it. We cannot leave it, because it is a disappointment for tens of thousands of people who protested in 150 cities in Poland. We owe them our presence and commitment. There is no excuse or justification for the lack of presence - stated Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Beata Michniewicz on "Trójka's Political Salon".

“Apparently, President Kaczyński and PiS are very determined to truly gain full political control over the courts. This determination exceeds my interpretive capabilities. I don't fully understand why they are exposing themselves to such costs, both in terms of their own reputation, and Poland, and Poland's position in Europe. Poland's reputation suffers greatly from this,” said the head of the European People's Party, Donald Tusk, in an interview with Jacek Żakowski on Poranek Radia TOK FM.

„When our relations weren't the worst, I sometimes teased Kaczyński, calling him a pocket tyrant. There's something to that” – said Donald Tusk, head of the European People's Party, in an interview with Jacek Żakowski on Poranek Radia TOK FM.

The Sejm Presidium has once again amended the schedule for today's session. MPs are still awaiting the prepared report from the Justice Committee, which deliberated until 5 AM.

According to the current proposal, deliberations will resume at 10:30 AM, the second reading of the disciplinary bill is scheduled for 12:30 PM, and votes will take place at 3:00 PM. The Law and Justice party (PiS) also wants to prohibit asking questions about the bill during the second reading.

Marcin Ociepa has been appointed as the Deputy Minister of National Defence. This appointment was announced via the official Twitter account of the Porozumienie political party.

- For now, four helicopters, but we hope that as they are used, as we become acquainted with this sophisticated equipment, we will be able to develop this equipment for our special forces, and then for other forces that will need it - said President Andrzej Duda during the handover of new helicopters to the Special Forces.

- I thank Ms. Ambassador [Mosbacher] for her presence at our ceremony today. Your presence, Madam Ambassador, is a visible sign of the developing cooperation between Poland and the United States - the President added.

- Under the cover of night, like thieves, PiS politicians are dismantling the independence of the judiciary in Poland, stealing democracy. This is how PiS is changing the system in Poland. PiS is doing everything to prevent citizens from following commission work, and also limits parliamentary debate when information arises, with no possibility to ask questions, neither on amendments nor during the second reading. This law is extremely harmful to citizens, extremely harmful to the Polish state, and incredibly beneficial for PiS politicians, to whom it guarantees impunity, creating them into a caste exempt from the law. The entire law is fit only for the bin; the introduced amendments do not change its main objective. This objective is to make the judiciary dependent on the power of the current politicians, and if the law is passed, the courts will simply become a toy in the hands of PiS politicians. Today, we will continue to point out all the dangerous provisions contained in the repressive law during parliamentary works, although the arithmetic is ruthless and PiS will most likely adopt the text of the repressive law today, you can be sure that this law will be scrutinized in the Senate, it will be broken down into its constituent parts to show the scale of the dangers for Polish citizens that it carries - stated Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz at a briefing in the Sejm.

- Yesterday, EC Vice-President Viera Jourová sent a letter to the Polish President, the Speakers of the Sejm and Senate, and the Polish Prime Minister regarding a bill in the Polish parliament that raises concerns for the European Commission. In the letter, she strongly encouraged the Polish authorities to consult this draft bill with the Venice Commission of the Council of Europe and urged all state organs to halt proceedings on the draft until all necessary consultations are completed - informed EC spokesman Christian Wigand at a press conference.

- It's interesting that the European Commission is able to issue unambiguous statements on legislation in such a short period of time. However, this requires translation, familiarization with the legislation, and the entire system of ordinary courts in Poland. As MP Ozdoba rightly noted, the issue of translating the amendments that were submitted yesterday evening at the committee meeting rather casts significant doubt on the credibility of the EC in this regard - stated Jan Kanthak in an interview with journalists in the Sejm.

- It is difficult to rely solely on media information. However, if it is true that the European Commission has sent a very strong letter to the most important bodies in Poland, appealing to halt work on this controversial bill, then we are in a completely different place than we were earlier this morning - stated Borys Budka before the second reading of the bill disciplining judges. 

- On behalf of the Civic Coalition club, I ask the Marshal to deliver copies of the EC's letter addressed to the Marshal of the Sejm to the MPs, and for this purpose, I very much request a break to allow time for the clubs. I ask for a break on behalf of the club, so there is time to reflect and familiarize ourselves with the EC's letter - added the head of the PO-KO club.

"You're mocking the project. You're defending politicized judges. You're defending people who want to undermine decisions, the prerogative of the president, who is closing the path to who a judge is in Poland" - said Jacek Ozdoba from PiS during the second reading of the disciplinary bill for judges.

“We have removed provisions that could be contrary to European Union law. We have added a preamble that clearly defines the axiological foundations underlying the necessity of adopting this project, because this project is necessary for the Polish state to be stable. We cannot afford to destabilize the state” - said Kamil Bortniczuk from the PiS parliamentary group during the second reading of the bill disciplining judges. 

"There was and is no justice system reform. For 4 years, you have been deceiving Poles, claiming that you are changing anything for the better. You have treated healthcare, the education system, higher education, and the judiciary in exactly the same way. You pretend to be great reformers, yet you introduce great chaos everywhere" - said the head of the Civic Coalition (KO) parliamentary club, Borys Budka, during the second reading of the bill disciplining judges.

"You simply dream of turning another institution into what Marian Banaś created, both in his tenement house and the Supreme Audit Office. The symbol of what you have turned Polish justice into is Banaś's tenement house" - said Borys Budka, the head of the Civic Coalition parliamentary club, during the second reading of the bill disciplining judges.

„Stop the work according to the European Commission's appeal. Don't throw Poland out of the European Union. It was the PiS politicians who started the fire that is consuming the legal system in Poland. Instead of putting it out, you are pouring gasoline on it” - said Kamila Gasiuk-Pihowicz from Civic Coalition (KO) during the second reading of the bill disciplining judges.

„Do you want to bring about a situation where the president of the Supreme Court becomes a party appointee from the Disciplinary Chamber, who, as courts have recently ruled, is not even a judge. This law is a simple, primitive legal blunder, intended to be a tool used by party apparatchiks like yourselves in authoritarian states” - said Krzysztof Śmiszek from The Left during the second reading of the bill disciplining judges.

„You speak of the need for judicial reform. Deputy Ozdoba thundered that Poles want good changes and how dare we interfere. Mr. Deputy, I ask today, after more than 4 years of supposedly implementing the expectations of Polish women and men. What do Poles have after your reforms? They have longer court delays, higher court fees. And they will have something worse. Great uncertainty regarding the law and court rulings” - said Krzysztof Paszyk from PSL-Koalicja Polska during the second reading of the bill disciplining judges.

„Today Poles would more likely expect a disciplinary, repressive law regarding President Banaś. That would be extremely urgent and anticipated today” – said Krzysztof Paszyk from PSL-Koalicja Polska during the second reading of the disciplinary law for judges.

"

We need to tell the European Commission clearly: hands off Polish lawmaking, off what the sovereign Sejm does. You have no right to interfere in our internal debate. You have no right to dictate from Brussels how the law will look" - said Robert Winnicki of Confederation during the second reading of the bill disciplining judges.

„The right to a court, and in particular the right to an independent court, is one of the rights enshrined in the constitution and international agreements ratified by Poland. For various reasons and through various legal means, the right to an independent court has been challenged in Poland for at least 4 years. During this time, we have received numerous critical remarks from the UN, the Council of Europe, the OSCE, and the EU. The CJEU has spoken on the matter of various reforms four times” - stated the Commissioner for Human Rights, Adam Bodnar, during the second reading of the disciplinary law for judges.

„Any disruptions regarding the guarantee of the right to a court will affect the respect for the principle of mutual trust in the functioning of the judicial systems of EU member states. In the event of a failure to resolve the current crisis, this will mean an inability for Polish court rulings to be recognized by courts of other member states, as well as an inability to cooperate with Polish courts” - he added.

"Amendments introduced overnight do not fix the law. What's more, they actually worsen the situation. I have the impression that some of them were not even consulted with the interested parties, because it's hard to expect that between 10 PM and 5 AM" - said the Commissioner for Human Rights, Adam Bodnar, during the second reading of the bill disciplining judges.

The Sejm wishes to express recognition for Olga Tokarczuk, the laureate of the 2018 Nobel Prize in Literature. The Sejm expresses satisfaction and pride that Poland is among the eight countries with the largest number of Nobel Prizes in literature. The reason for this joy is that this distinction popularizes Polish literature worldwide and deservedly confirms its high standing – it was stated in the resolution adopted by the Sejm.

“The Sejm is convening, a debate is beginning. Soon there will probably be votes. The committee deliberated until 5:15 AM. In the morning, the Commissioner informed that she had sent a letter to the President, the Prime Minister, and the Speakers of both houses of parliament, in which she unequivocally expresses concern about the proceedings of such a drastic bill and asks to suspend the legislative process until broader consultations, both domestic and international, are conducted, pointing quite specifically to the Venice Commission” - said the Marshal of the Senate, Tomasz Grodzki, at a press conference.

“We should scrutinize the letter from the Vice-President of the European Commission with the utmost care. The Senate, if this document reaches us, will want to conduct the entire legislative process, including seeking the opinion of the Venice Commission and foreign experts, if necessary” - he added.

During a block of votes, MPs adopted the so-called bill disciplining judges, submitted by PiS. 233 MPs voted "for," 205 voted against, and 10 abstained. The bill will now go to the Senate, which will have 30 days to consider it. The next session of the upper house is scheduled for January 8-9.

Lawmakers, in a series of votes, have approved the candidacy of Rafał Wojciechowski for the position of judge at the Constitutional Tribunal. The candidate, nominated by PiS, will replace Małgorzata Pyziak-Szafnicka, whose term concludes on January 5th.

• The law designed to counteract chaos, anarchy, and ambiguities related to questioning judges' status has been passed. I hope the Senate will not delay in addressing this law, because the interest of Polish citizens argues for its adoption. This law, as I mentioned yesterday, serves as a remedy for a phenomenon that could be described as an attempt to plant an explosive charge under the pillars of the Polish judiciary. The issue boils down to the fact that allowing the status of judges to be questioned by other judges, allowing for the possibility that some judges appointed at a specific time by one or another judicial council, or previously by the State Council, will be questioned due to doubts about the bodies that participated in their appointment, creates complete legal uncertainty. It leads to a state highly detrimental to any democratic rule of law, and most importantly, very dangerous for every Polish citizen – said Zbigniew Ziobro during a press conference in the Sejm.

- This is the beginning of the term. I would attribute it to a lack of experience. They didn't understand that this is such a Sejm. The opposition should know that with this majority, with this government, one must always be vigilant - said Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Bartosz Kurek on the Polsat News program "Gość Wydarzeń," commenting on the vote lost by the opposition on Thursday.

Kamil Bortniczuk has been appointed as the Deputy Minister of Funds and Regional Policy. The announcement was made via the ministry's official Twitter account.

- I don't like this law at all. I believe that this type of restriction on the freedom and expression of independent judges is unnecessary. I don't know why we need to tense things up like this – said Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Bartosz Kurek on the program “Gość Wydarzeń” on Polsat News.

- In all those countries where outsiders won, there was one, but very important, condition for their victory. All, and I emphasize ALL, political parties had to be in crisis. In Poland, at least one political party is not in crisis, and you can guess which party I'm referring to. As long as PiS has its consolidated electorate above 40%, the thought that an outsider can enter this electorate and take a few, or a dozen percent of the votes, seems strange to me - said Aleksander Kwaśniewski in an interview with Bartosz Kurek on the program 'Gość Wydarzeń' on Polsat News.

- We will consistently reform the courts. We will consistently change the justice system so that it is just. This is a response to an attempt at chaos and anarchy, to introduce chaos and anarchy by a handful of judges – said Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Danuta Holecka on the program “Gość Wiadomości” on TVP Info.

– We are already in the final phase of negotiations. I assume that at the beginning of next year, I think in January, we will finalize the negotiations and order these most modern aircraft [F-35] – said Mariusz Błaszczak in an interview with Danuta Holecka on the program “Gość Wiadomości” on TVP Info.
