On 3 November before the seat of the Constitutional Court, Przemysław Czarnek announced notices to the prosecutor's office for persons attending the assembly convened at 3.30 p.m. PiS politician called the planned gathering "organized crime group". It's a political charge, not a conviction. Legality of the Constitutional Order of Poland is at stake.
Blacksmith announces notices to the D.A.
Przemysław Czarnek, Vice president of Law and Justice, appeared before the Constitutional Court on Tuesday morning together with Euro MP Daniel Obietka. He warned those who were to attend the convention at 3.30 p.m. that their participation could consequence in notices to the prosecutors. The politician utilized the word "organized crime group", but this is his assessment and charge. Only the competent court may decide on criminal liability.
Czarnek listed Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, Berk and Krystian Markiewicz as individuals who he thought participated in actions aimed at the constitutional body of the state. He stated that others could avoid work unless they attended the planned meeting. He announced to observe who would appear at the office of the TK, and to make subsequent notifications.
A dispute over the right to convene
According to Czarnka, the General Assembly of Judges of the Constitutional Tribunal may only be convened by the president of the Court. The politician considers Bogdan Święczkowski as legal president and argues that the people chosen by the current majority of the parliament who did not take a vow before the president cannot form the appropriate composition of the assembly. The Court's authoritative list indicates Bogdan Święczkowski as President.
According to the account of DoRzeczy.pl, 7 judges announced the absence. Czarnek argued that without the quorum required, crucial decisions cannot be made. It is precisely a dispute over composition, competence and procedure that determines the burden of the full case. It is not a method sitting, but a effort to find who actually directs and can act on behalf of the Court.
The crisis has a longer history. The National diary described earlier how The dispute over the Constitutional Court grew under force from judgments from Strasbourgand how Government left the TK without budget for 2027. The current confrontation is another phase in the fight for an institution to control the constitutional compatibility of the law.
Sharp words require hard evidence
Czarnek’s message accurately shows the seriousness of the situation, but the allegation of participation in a criminal group has a circumstantial legal burden. It cannot stay simply a tool of political pressure. If PiS politicians have evidence of a crime, they should immediately hand it over to the D.A. and make a procedural assessment. The state of law defends itself with a document, procedure and responsibility, not just the temperature of words.
This does not mean that the effort to change the control of the TK by the fact that it has been done may be underestimated. The Constitutional Authority must not become the spoil of a parliamentary majority or the base of any party. Any decision concerning its authorities must have a clear legal basis, hold the quorum required and be subject to public control.
Poles request to know the basis of state action
For a citizen, the stakes are very specific. The Court settles cases relating to the limits of power, civilian rights and the conformity of laws with the Constitution. If its position can be changed by entering a building, police protection or common designation as legal power, the predictability of the state disappears.
Therefore, full transparency of documents, immediate judicial review of any charges and respect for the presumption of innocence are needed. Poland does not request 2 competing Courts and 2 legal orders. He needs 1 law, which is applied equally to the government, the opposition and the highest officials.
