The government's proposal to amend the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS) – introducing a new principle for electing judges to the council – was rapidly adopted by the Sejm, with a decision even made to proceed to the third reading without sending the draft to a committee.

232 MPs voted "for", 183 voted against, and 12 abstained. The bill will now be sent to the Senate.
