There's Panic on Board.

- In my opinion, the Presidential Chancellery and Mr. Bogucki, who attacked me fiercely in his statements and in many online posts, they got scared, they fell into their own trap. They saw that we have a Plan B for vetoing the good law on the National Council of the Judiciary. And Plan B would be that judges would elect this representation for the KRS from the ground up - said Waldemar Żurek in "Pytanie dnia" on TVP Info.

- We saw Mr. Bogucki, who said: "Presidents who convene assemblies to carry out these grassroots elections will face charges under Article 231 of the Penal Code." So, I believe there is panic on board, because presidents can convene such assemblies on any important matter. The law on the organization of courts gives them grounds for this. So, this is a miscalculation, because I think panic set in that Plan B would succeed - he stated.
