- This is an excessive accusation [that the Prime Minister legalized a neo-judge at the Supreme Court]. The Prime Minister admitted to a mistake, I think that needs to be emphasized. It is rare for a Prime Minister in such a loud and strong situation to openly say: 'yes, I admit to a mistake', and such a declaration took place a few days ago - said Adam Bodnar in an interview with Dominika Wielowieyska on Poranek TOK FM. - However, the question of what will happen to judges appointed by the National Council of the Judiciary after 2018 is a separate matter. Later this week, I will present the assumptions for draft laws that will concern both the status of judges and the future Supreme Court, and it can also be said that a correction needs to be made regarding the act passed by the Sejm, i.e., the act on the National Council of the Judiciary - he explained. "Please wait until Friday" - The foundation of all these proposed changes is the issue of verifying the status of judges. […] Will they lose their status? I think please wait until Friday. It will be a very comprehensive and very detailed solution - he noted. He added: - Everything will be prepared in such a way that the laws - I hope - will be adopted and ready for the signature of the President, who wants to cooperate in resolving the rule of law problem.
