- “A muzzle bis” and even more. This [presidential bill on courts] will be an attempt not only to muzzle Polish judges, but to put them on a leash - said Waldemar Żurek in „Pytanie dnia” (Question of the Day) on TVP Info.

- It seems that the president has perhaps overdone it. In my opinion, this is not just a shot in the foot, but in the knee. […] This law could never become law. […] Everyone – perhaps except for Minister Ziobro’s colleague, Ms. Dagmara Pawełczyk-Woicka, who threatens Polish judges with prison – believes that this is a complete misunderstanding. That it is simply a law worthy of an authoritarian regime, meaning that the president is to decide on all competitions and announcements - he continued.

- Punishing judges with up to 10 years of imprisonment for applying not only the rulings of European courts, but above all, of legal Supreme Court judges. Because we must remember that Polish Supreme Court judges, the undisputed ones, hold exactly the position that we can examine the status of appointment because we had an illegal National Council of the Judiciary - he continued.
