At 11:00 AM, the three-day Senate session will commence. Senators will begin their work by discussing the disciplinary bill for judges. Yesterday, the joint committees recommended its rejection in its entirety. If the upper house rejects the PiS proposal or introduces amendments to it, the Sejm will address them at its session next week, on January 22-23. The agenda also includes, among other items, the election of senators to the National Council of the Judiciary. Today in the European Parliament, likely around 5:00 PM, a debate on the rule of law in Poland will take place. The agenda already includes the item “Hearings held under Article 7(1) TEU concerning Poland.” Earlier, a similar discussion will be held concerning Hungary. Tomorrow, a resolution on Poland and Hungary is scheduled to be voted on. At noon, Deputy Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska will meet with experts on national security and foreign policy. Following the discussion, around 1:15 PM, a press briefing is scheduled. The leader of PSL, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, will visit two more towns in Mazovia: at 1:00 PM in Cegłów, and at 5:00 PM in Mińsk Mazowiecki. At 4:00 PM, a meeting between President Andrzej Duda and Marshal of the Senate Tomasz Grodzki will take place. In turn, at 7:00 PM, the Presidential Couple will meet with the heads of diplomatic missions accredited in Poland.

- I think it's worth discussing whether judges in robes should actually appear at protests, which will unfortunately inherently have a political slant - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation".

- Let's imagine, for example, a police officer appearing at a political protest in their uniform, or another public official appearing in their uniform. This can raise doubts for obvious reasons - the government spokesman continued.

- Judges should not be involved in activities of a political nature, or activities that might later cause someone facing a court decision to believe that it is not objective - he stated.

Let's consider that some judges are undermining the status of other judges. Consequently, they are challenging existing laws, despite, for example, the Constitutional Tribunal's decision on the compliance of the provisions of the act concerning the National Council of the Judiciary. Other judges claim they are inconsistent. This is a direct path to chaos in the justice system. Hence, laws that are intended to regulate this area - stated Piotr Müller in a conversation with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Conversation".

- We are primarily waiting for the content of this motion [regarding the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court], because I don't know to what extent the European Commission would like to secure it. The government feels like a party to the dispute concerning the judicial laws. The government and the parliamentary majority. The subject of the security is the Disciplinary Chamber. It would already be the DC [Disciplinary Chamber] that would decide, or the Supreme Court, on the scope of application. It's not a question of washing one's hands, but rather one should see what the final decision of the CJEU will look like. Security is only a measure that is intended to be a transitional period until the final resolution - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego". - Then [if such a decision on security is made], the Disciplinary Chamber will familiarize itself with the content of this security measure and decide to what extent to apply it - the government spokesperson continued. - I think that talks are always a good element of any dialogue, any dispute that arises at the EU level. As far as I know, Commissioner [Vera Jourová] herself declared that she wanted to meet. I see no obstacles to such a meeting taking place - he emphasized.

I believe that dialogue is always a good solution, and we must talk, present our arguments. Primarily, that regulations concerning the organization of the judiciary are not a subject of EU treaties, and this is the fundamental objection we are raising – stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Rozmowa Piaseckiego".

- There are no decisions yet regarding the formula for court reform. There are no such decisions - stated Piotr Müller in an interview with Konrad Piasecki on TVN24's "Piasecki's Talk".

- Structural reform is being considered, and discussions among experts also concern flattening the court structure, but there are no decisions. There is no final concept, so it's difficult for the Prime Minister to sign off on something, but he does endorse carrying out justice system reform - the government spokesperson continued to say.

„Democratic elections have enormous value. This is not common in Polish politics. I talked a lot with MPs, senators, and PO activists. These were very difficult 4 years, also for me, taking the Platform out of a difficult and weak, I don't want to say fatal, state” - said outgoing PO leader Grzegorz Schetyna in an interview with Piotr Kraśko on Poranek Radia TOK FM.

„We won the Senate elections. We didn't win the Sejm elections. I thought that pushing my candidacy during the presidential elections didn't make sense. I was very likely to win these elections. But the style, method, and state of the Platform wouldn't be good” - he added.

"With high mobilization and good turnout, opposition victory is possible. Let the Senate situation teach us so that we can draw conclusions from it. We will not defeat PiS, I'm talking about the opposition, if we cannot cooperate with each other and draw conclusions" - said the outgoing Civic Platform (PO) leader, Grzegorz Schetyna, in an interview with Piotr Kraśko on TOK FM Radio's Morning program.

„The President is wholeheartedly with PiS. And this has been worrying all of us for many years, because it means his limited or lack of independence, or limited independence, a lack of review of the consequences of such projects. And one must remember that, concurrently, in European courts, which also bind us, proceedings are underway concerning not only the general mechanisms or principles of the Polish justice system in this legislative process, but also specific cases of judges who have been convicted by the so-called court, meaning not a court, the disciplinary chamber” - said Bogdan Zdrojewski from Civic Coalition in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet. 

“They more often call me the ‘conscience of Civic Platform,’ and nobody really likes conscience. I smile, but I’ll say this: I have a chance, I believe I have a chance. I’ve had further meetings. I was in Poznań, yesterday I was in Lublin. I know how I am perceived, how what I say is perceived, including my criticism, and also the guarantee of change for the better” – said Bogdan Zdrojewski from Civic Coalition in an interview with Beata Lubecka on Radio Zet. 

Dialogue is needed, and I think this dialogue will be undertaken and, above all, that we are right [about the changes in the justice system]. That is the most important thing. I am convinced of our rightness. Voters I often meet also reassure me. I can't say every single day, because today we have a Senate session and I won't be meeting voters today, but we meet and talk very often. I would even say that just yesterday, on the street, several people approached me. There were opponents too, but the vast majority are people who say they are keeping their fingers crossed, that they strongly want these changes to be implemented, that we should not go backward. We have social support, and this is exactly what is written in the Constitution: that a parliament elected in democratic elections, i.e., the sovereign, so everything is in order, in a logical sequence. Therefore, I am very surprised that the European institution is limiting - stated Stanisław Karczewski in an interview with Paweł Lisicki on "Trójka's Political Salon".

- We, the Senators of the Republic elected by the people, express solidarity and full support for the Marshal of the Senate, Prof. Tomasz Grodzki, and condemn the lying smear campaign conducted against him since the day of his election. We condemn the slander, provocations, and even attempts at bribery, unsupported by any credible facts, aimed at obtaining testimonies that would tarnish Marshal Grodzki - wrote a group of senators in a statement concerning "TVP's Lying Smear Campaign Against Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki".

- The organized and massive attack on the Marshal, conducted by state television funded by taxpayers' money and one of the special services, resembles the worst practices from before 1989. Despite Tomasz Grodzki's many years in public life, the attack on him began on the day the Marshal was elected. Therefore, it must be treated as an attack on the entire Senate of the Republic and on the political efforts to change the election results, conducted through state structures. Marshal Tomasz Grodzki has our unwavering trust, and his loved ones have our support - it was stated in the declaration.

The statement was signed by senators from Civic Coalition, Lewica, PSL, and the Circle of Independent Senators.

"Tomorrow we expect an urgent opinion from the Venice Commission on the laws being discussed, for which voting will take place on Friday - whether it's before noon or in the afternoon depends on the honorable senators, how heated the discussion will be and how it will proceed. The Venice Commission's report will be seen by the honorable senators first" - said the Marshal of the Senate, Tomasz Grodzki, at a press conference.

At the beginning of the Senate session commencing today, Civic Coalition Senator Leszek Czarnobaj submitted a motion to remove from the agenda the item concerning the election of senators to the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS) – until, as he argued, the legal situation surrounding the council is clarified. A counter-motion was submitted by PiS Senator Marek Pęk.

Senator Czarnobaj's motion did not secure a majority, as it was supported by 49 senators, with an equal number voting against it. A total of 98 senators participated in the vote. Moments later, Senate Speaker Tomasz Grodzki confirmed that the motion had not achieved a majority, and the item remains on the agenda. According to the law, the Senate elects two of its representatives to the KRS.

„I asked the President and expressed my readiness to come with experts from our side and sit down with the President and his experts for working talks regarding judicial laws. The President, through Minister Szymańska, informed me that he prefers a one-on-one meeting. What character will it have? I will be a guest there. I am adapting to the host's expectations, as dictated by respect for the head of state” - said Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki at a press conference.

„I believe the European Commission has thoroughly analyzed the ‘pros’ and ‘cons.’ If it has made such a decision, it is certainly well-justified. For me, as Marshal, it is simply concerning. This is embarrassing for Poland. This is something that, had we conducted the legislative process more prudently here and adopted laws and resolutions through dialogue between the opposition and the ruling party, should not have happened” – stated Marshal of the Senate Tomasz Grodzki at a press conference.

“Regarding Mrs. Director Daszczyk. Imagine, if your cameraman, or a TVN cameraman, had hit, not in a crowd, because that happens, but while running down the stairs, the cabinet director of Marshal Witek. You would be hyping that for a month. In Polish tradition, gentlemanliness towards women is embedded in the philosophy of every man. I expect you to apologize to the director. If in “Wiadomości” you're trying to convince people that she almost attacked the cameraman, and you say you wish her a speedy recovery with a wink, then you are not a gentleman” - said Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki, in response to questions from Miłosz Kłeczek from TVP Info.

- They have no idea [foreign countries] about the situation in Poland. They come because the opposition tells them there are tanks on the streets, that people are imprisoned for carrying flowers - stated Marek Suski in an interview with Michał Rachoń on the TVP Info program "Jedziemy".

- The opposition has created such an opinion of us that these people truly believe there is a dictatorship here and it's worse than in Aleppo - he continued.

- He has the right [Tomasz Grodzki] to claim he is innocent. Everyone has the right to claim they are innocent. I once visited a prison and the warden told me that all inmates are "innocent" - stated Marek Suski in an interview with Michał Rachoń on the TVP Info program "Jedziemy".

- One can suspect that the Marshal's actions are driven by some personal interests. I'm not sure, I can't read anyone's mind, but I don't know what motivates the Marshal - the PiS politician continued.

- The best defense is offense. He has a good lawyer. They advised him to defend himself in this way: by undermining the credibility of the people who speak about him. It's strange, because these people are not connected to politics. It's many individuals who don't know each other, yet they speak about the Marshal putting 'tokens of gratitude' into his desk drawer, and that these efforts were related to a public hospital - he emphasized.

“The result of this vote [on removing the election of KRS members from the agenda] shows that the majority, which is so jubilant, is very fragile. Anything can happen in the Senate this term. I am closely observing what is happening in the Senate. I would very much like to fervently appeal to those who form the majority to calm their emotions, because they are very high and do not serve substantive debate” – said Deputy Speaker Stanisław Karczewski from PiS at a press conference in the Senate.

„Dialogue in the Committee on Foreign Affairs and European Union is being abandoned. Senator Bogdan Klich, who in an aggressive manner limits his activities solely to criticism and attacks on PiS, has become the chairman of this committee. We have decided to leave this committee. We will leave one senator – Professor Włodzimierz Bernacki, who is the vice-chairman of the committee. He will attend the committee's meetings and present our stance, but as a sign of protest against Senator Klich's actions, we are leaving the committee and will not participate in it. We will not participate in Marshal Grodzki's foreign trips. We will not legitimize the conduct of his foreign policy” – said Deputy Marshal Stanisław Karczewski of PiS at a press conference in the Senate.

For several weeks, we have been talking extensively about Poland's security and foreign policy. Disturbing events are happening, Poles lack explanations and have doubts. They want to know why certain decisions are being made. They want to understand that both the President and the government are taking care of their safety. The opposition has repeatedly appealed, and I have appealed, for the President to convene the National Security Council (RBN), as it is an excellent forum for discussion, listening, understanding, and developing a common stance. Because security concerns us all, and we are all responsible for security. That is why today I invited the best experts to discuss security and the international situation, and to find solutions that will be clear and understandable to Poles. I believe that at the present time, the parliament, the Sejm, and Polish parliamentarians should possess knowledge and make decisions consciously. Therefore, I will appeal to my fellow MPs to jointly create our parliamentary security council, where we will be able to talk with experts and jointly develop positions, because we should conduct politics together, but to do so together, we must be prepared and have knowledge and utilize the experience of experts. Since the President does not want to listen to experienced people, we, as parliamentarians, will listen to them – stated Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska at a briefing in the Sejm.

„The discussion on whether corporatism is one of the main, and perhaps the main, problem of the Polish judiciary is a topic for a long debate, but there is no doubt that the diagnosis related to the cause of growing problems, that it is precisely corporatism and a poorly organized judicial structure, lacking adequate democratic control, and lacking transparency, is the leading problem of the Polish judiciary, first appeared in the program of Civic Platform, not PiS” – said Minister Zbigniew Ziobro in the Senate.

"Poland's corporate model for the structure of the judiciary grew out of the times of the Round Table Agreement, when, as part of a compromise with the communists, it seemed optimal to agree to a solution where the judicial power would be isolated from the then communist authorities. However, what was wise at that stage does not mean it was wise for the democratic transformations of the Polish state" – stated Minister Zbigniew Ziobro in the Senate.

- On November 19th, the Court issued a preliminary ruling concerning the independence of the newly established Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court. The ECJ ruled that it is up to the Polish Supreme Court to assess whether the new Disciplinary Chamber is independent, taking into account a series of factors. On December 5th, based on the criteria set by the ECJ, the Polish Supreme Court ruled that the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court does not meet the requirements of EU law concerning judicial independence, and therefore it is not a court within the meaning of EU law, nor is it a court under national law. We have noted a series of reactions from the Polish authorities criticizing the ECJ's ruling. In this regard, I would like to emphasize that respecting preliminary rulings is crucial for the uniform application of EU law - said Věra Jourová during a debate in the European Parliament.

- Regarding disciplinary proceedings, on October 10th, 2019, the Commission decided to refer the new disciplinary system in Poland to the ECJ. In particular, the Commission believes that this new system does not provide adequate guarantees protecting judges from political control and their decisions made in courts. The situation remains very serious. Despite the ECJ's preliminary ruling and the Supreme Court's ruling, judges who try to implement these provisions are subjected to disciplinary proceedings, and the Disciplinary Chamber continues to operate at full capacity. These events create a risk of irreparable harm to judges who will be subjected to the final decision of the Disciplinary Chamber, recognized as politically dependent. Combined with new disciplinary proceedings, the damage to the judiciary is increasing. This particularly affects Polish judges. Therefore, yesterday the Commission decided to prepare a request for interim measures in the context of ongoing infringement procedures, so that the Court suspends the operation of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court. These measures are very urgent and necessary in this specific case. The Commission is ready to continue dialogue with the Polish government on the rule of law, in order to find a constructive way to resolve existing problems - Jourová continued.

- Further changes concern laws related to the functioning of the judiciary, currently being discussed in the Polish parliament. The bill addresses issues such as judicial independence, which increases the Commission's concerns. For this reason, on December 19th, I sent a letter to the President of Poland, the Marshals of the Sejm and Senate, and the Prime Minister of Poland regarding this draft law. The aim of my letter was to remind that the Commission wants to cooperate with the Polish authorities to strengthen the rule of law by preventing problems and working to resolve them as they arise. In my letter, I encourage the Polish authorities to consult with the Council of Europe and the Commission, and also encourage them not to take action on these new projects without consulting all stakeholders. I emphasize that any legislative changes must comply with the requirements on which the EU legal order is based. They cannot lead to a further deterioration of the rule of law situation in Poland. The Commission welcomes the fact that the Marshal of the Senate has approached the Venice Commission with a request for an opinion. The Commission was in Poland on January 9th and 10th and is preparing an opinion on the draft law. The European Commission is ready to engage in constructive dialogue and regularly contacts the Polish authorities to find a constructive solution to the problems [PE simultaneous translation] - she stated.

- It is characteristic that you are speaking very generally today, that the law is being broken in Poland. None of you has stated specifically what it means that the selection of judges in Poland is politicized. And do you know why? Because if you did, questions would arise, for example, a question to Commissioner Jourová. How are judges selected in the Czech Republic? Please state that and compare it with Poland. Please state that and compare it with Poland. Then you will see what this one big lie is all about. It's good that you from Germany also spoke, because you say that the selection of judges in our country is politicized. Do you know that in Poland judges select judges? And do you know how judges are selected in Germany? Quite recently, a Member of Parliament, directly from the Bundestag, became a judge. And you shamelessly tell us that the justice system in Poland is politicized, but not in Germany? This is the height of cynicism. I will say more. You talk about freedom, about freedom of demonstration. Do you know that those judges who are sitting here had the protection of the Polish police when they protested? And now let French judges and French lawyers speak about how they were forcibly removed from the Court of Appeal in France. And what? The rule of law is being broken in our country, but not in France? This is ridiculous. You know this very well. Poland bothers you because it no longer clings to Germany's coattails, because it is rising from its knees, it does not agree to accept the number of migrants you want, it does not agree to accept the amount of technology, it simply wants to be a sovereign, independent state, and this bothers you – said Patryk Jaki during a debate in the European Parliament.

- Law and Justice, I have information for you today. The courts are not lost yet, as long as we live. No matter how much you shout, no matter how many muzzles you try to impose, no matter what leashes you try to introduce, Polish society will take to the streets for as long as it takes. In defense of the constitution, in defense of the rule of law, in defense of the constitutional order. And we will also show this solidarity here in the European Parliament, because your actions, your elite, because you talk a lot about elites, are a threat not only to the rule of law in Poland but to the entire EU. That's why I'm warning you. If you continue down this path, you will become even more isolated and will move closer to Belarus and Russia - Robert Biedroń said during a debate in the European Parliament.

- It's good that such a conversation is happening. The ice needs to be broken, as the President likely has remorse after attacking Marshal Grodzki for meetings with the Russian ambassador, and it turned out that it happened before Putin's words, in contact with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so I think an apology was offered - said Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

„I believe [Borys Budka] possesses all the qualities that mean he absolutely has what it takes to become a charismatic leader of Civic Platform and the entire opposition. He has charisma. It's a matter of growing into a certain role. It's not that someone is born a fantastic leader immediately; rather, they grow into it by facing various adversities. I remember what was said about Donald Tusk and how he grew into the role of a true leader” – said the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, in an interview with Justyna Pochanke on „Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24.

- I don't know anyone President Duda has convinced of anything. He became president, but now he has a credibility problem, he has a problem with being not independent. I think that for a large part of Poles, those who didn't vote for him, like myself, but gave him some credit of trust, which I've spoken about publicly, we are deeply disappointed that he is partisan and not independent – said Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

"I hope so [that Borys Budka wins in the first round], that we will have a person of a new generation, with new energy, but also with experience. This is not just Borys Budka's project. This is a much broader project. I have clearly declared myself on Borys Budka's side" - said the Mayor of Warsaw, Rafał Trzaskowski, in an interview with Justyna Pochanke on "Fakty po Faktach" on TVN24.

- I am convinced, contrary to various comments, that this internal campaign is not hindering Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska. I've traveled a significant part of the country and I'm starting to say: what did you do today, what did you do yesterday, what will you do tomorrow for Kidawa-Błońska's campaign. We are mobilizing Platforma. All candidates, all six of them are doing it, so I believe that revitalization, mobilization, is the absolute foundation - said Tomasz Siemoniak in an interview with Dorota Gawryluk on the program "Gość Wydarzeń" on Polsat News.

Moving this debate [concerning the judiciary] to the level of the European Parliament, and what's more, providing false information about the alleged violation of the rule of law, damages Poland's image abroad - said Piotr Müller in a conversation with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program 'Wydarzenia i Opinie' on Polsat News.

- Appointing judges upon the request of judicial associations was one of Solidarity's postulates introduced in 1989. The Gag Law is a copy of a 1986 decree by the PRL Minister of Justice. - said Krzysztof Brejza on Kropka nad I.

The Prime Minister [Szydło] will face the State Tribunal in the future because the head of government is responsible before the State Tribunal for violating the constitution, meaning for not publishing the rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal, which were indeed one of the beginnings, in addition to the President's failure to administer the oath to properly elected judges in 2015. For such matters, one is held accountable before the State Tribunal – said Katarzyna Lubnauer in an interview with Bogdan Rymanowski on the program 'Wydarzenia i Opinie' (Events and Opinions) on Polsat News.

During a debate in the European Parliament, a heated exchange took place between Radosław Sikorski and Beata Szydło, after the former head of Polish diplomacy argued that the former Prime Minister bears co-responsibility for the process of undermining the rule of law:

"The violation of the constitution and the rule of law in Poland began with this [failure to publish TK rulings]. She [Beata Szydło] is also a person who is not impartial in this matter, as cases such as the 26 interrogations of the innocent Sebastian K are ongoing concerning her situation" - he said in the European Parliament.

MEP Beata Szydło responded to his words:

"This was not a question, but Mr. Sikorski lied at this moment and I should actually take him to court. No legal proceedings are ongoing against me. That is, firstly, Mr. Sikorski. Please read with understanding. You are a liar and you are unworthy of having a mandate granted by Poles".
