On Tuesday 1 July, the ultimate Court addressed the issue of the importance of elections for the president of Poland. The gathering of the full Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs began around 13 p.m. The judges of the home considered the elections important. The gathering lasts 2 hours. This officially opens the way to the Nawrock presidency. Just swearing in to him.
What happened in the ultimate Court?
Before announcing the resolution, lawyer General Adam Bodnar requested that the judges of the Chamber of Control be excluded. The judges refused, arguing that they were investigating the protests and that the prosecutor could not make specified a motion.
Then 1 associate of the home recalled that in 2023 Adam Bodnar obtained a senatorial mandate. – Let me remind you that the validity of the elections was stated by our House. Do you feel like a flawed elected senator, the alleged neosenator? You didn't protest at the time," said the judge.
– The last thing I'm going to do is usage specified publicistic words," said the Minister of Justice. He besides explained that the designation of the validity of the parliamentary elections by the SN was not binding on their actual validity, as opposed to the presidential elections, where the resolution is necessary.
Judge-Rapporteur Maria Szczepanec later summed up electoral protests, criticized the usage of an unauthorized application (the alleged Matecki app), but considered that it did not affect the results of the election. The study was then presented by the head of PKW Sylwester Marciniak. The next study was presented by lawyer General Adam Bodnar and his deputy Jack Bilewicz.
Demonstrations were held in front of the ultimate Court building.
Is the decision of the unrecognised Chamber important?
The ultimate Court resolution is essential to recognise the validity of the presidential election. By 2018, this decision was issued by the Chamber of Labour, Insurance and Public Affairs. After that, the Law and Justice decided to change the law and cede this work to the established neo-Judges Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs. This Chamber is not recognised by the Government, the EU Court of Justice and the European Court of Human Rights.
Earlier, Minister of Justice and lawyer General Adam Bodnar had requested the Chamber of Control to exclude himself from ruling and giving decisions to the Labour Chamber. However, I president of SN Margaret Manowska refused.
It is so not certain that the resolution on the validity of the elections issued by the illegally acting Chamber will be formally valid. However, the talker of the Sejm, Simon Holovnia, announced earlier that the National Assembly would convene after the President's election was recognised as valid by the SN on August 6th. That's erstwhile Charles Nawrocki will take his oath and take office.
Prior to the designation of the validity of the elections, the ultimate Court rejected wholesale electoral protests, making it reasonable to consider only any of them.
