“This is a serious problem, looking from the perspective of the functioning of the most important court in Poland, the Supreme Court. I am counting on these issues being resolved positively in the near future,” Zbigniew Kapiński said in RMF FM’s “Morning Conversation,” when asked about the situation where there are 91 judges out of 125, and the heads of 3 out of 5 chambers are vacant.

“I am referring to two chambers, where the President will likely make a decision without a counter-signature, I am referring to the Criminal Chamber and the Chamber of Professional Responsibility. Candidates have been presented to the President, three people for each, and I believe the President will make decisions in this regard in the near future,” he continued.

“Yes, after receiving the nomination, I spoke with the President, I presented the situation as it is. The President understands it, and I believe these matters will be resolved as soon as possible,” he added, when asked if he had spoken with the President.
