What Poland? Dispute over the Constitution of the Republic of Poland

The resolution aims to remove the effects of the constitutional crisis on those offices which have "fundamental importance for the protection of the rights of the individual and in exercising control over the activities of another authorities of the State within the framework of the constitutional rule of balance between authorities".

As is known, Article 190(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland requires that decisions of the Constitutional Court be published immediately in the authoritative diary of the Republic of “Monitor of Poland” and the fresh president of the Court of Poland Bogdan Święczkowski refers to this provision. "The effort to amend the Constitution by means of a resolution of the Council of Ministers does not have precedent in the past of Poland, but refers straight to the practice of times of socialism, or legal realities of the Polish People's Republic, long rejected by Poles and the doctrine of law" – Święczkowski wrote in his statement.

He added that the resolution did not have legal effects, nor was it an excuse for a constitutional tribunal in the form of not publishing twenty-one judgments of the Court in 2024 by the Prime Minister of the Council of Ministers and the Prime Minister of the Government Legislative Centre or for the refusal to print the judgments of the Court in the future declared in the resolution.

The fresh president of TK has forgotten the predicament of this state of affairs. It was Prime Minister Beata Szydło in 2015 who initiated the practice of not publishing Constitutional Court decisions. And this Law and Justice challenged the principles of 3 divisions of power in Poland.

Here is simply a alternatively well-known question about Poland, which was said in the Sejm on the night of 4 June 1992 by then Prime Minister Jan Olszewski just before his government was dismissed: "There is simply a image of Poland in the game. What's she expected to be like? Or else – whose is it expected to be? There is Poland, or alternatively for 45 years it was – due to the fact that it was Poland – owned by a certain group, owned by a lease alternatively by individual given (...). Today, I see that not everything has ended, that much is inactive going on, and whose Poland will be must be decided.” (Source: stenogram of the 17th session of the Sejm of 4 June 1992).

For 32 years after saying these words, the fight for Poland's imagination is inactive ongoing, and those ruling after winning the elections usually treat our common good as their prey. And this is an obstacle to yet reasoning not about whose, but what Poland should be. Beautiful, fair and wise with the wisdom of their citizens. The last one, unfortunately, we inactive gotta wait. Can we wait?
