Żurek:
No one questions the President's prerogative to issue appointments
- Ladies and gentlemen, no one questions the President's prerogative to issue appointments. No one. But please read the Constitution, I have these regulations in front of me: the President appoints upon the motion of the National Council of the Judiciary. Please read the commentaries on the Constitution, the motion of a legal body, the President's appointment, there must be consistency - said Waldemar Żurek in the Sejm.
- If it were the case that the President said, "I have a driver who has completed law school, I will appoint him as a judge," would he also be a judge? He has completed law school. No, because there must be a motion from a legal body - he continued.
- All Polish legal judicial bodies and international bodies have clearly indicated that there was no motion because there was no legal body. If this motion is absent, it is flawed, which is why the irremovability of a judge applies to the judge, not to the person appointed through such a procedure - he went on to say.
