"Communism is Back": Błaszczak Criticizes Minister of Justice's Regulation and Announces Constitutional Tribunal Complaint

Mateusz Nowak

- We wanted to present the position of the Law and Justice Parliamentary Club regarding the violation of law by the current Minister of Justice, Waldemar Żurek. What has happened, related to the issuance of a regulation that abolishes the random assignment of judges to preside over specific cases, is a manifestation of the lack of rule of law in our country, it is a manifestation of changing the law through a regulation [...] it is a manifestation of manipulating courts to rule in political processes – Mariusz Błaszczak said at a press conference.

- One could say that communism is back. Communism, in the form it took before '89, has returned under Donald Tusk's government. After all, what is this all about? It's about having 'judges on call' again – he continued.

- It was during the Law and Justice government that the system of random assignment of judges to specific cases was introduced – he further stated.

- The Law and Justice Parliamentary Club will take action on this matter. These actions will aim, on the one hand, to prepare a complaint to the Constitutional Tribunal [...] and also, at the next Sejm session, at our request, I hope a meeting of the Committee on Justice and Human Rights will be convened, specifically dedicated to this issue – he added.
