‘This constitution of the Polish State is the highest law in the Republic of Poland and no judgement of the EU Court of Justice will change that," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki of the Law and Justice. He thus referred to the Opinion of Advocate General TEU on the Constitutional Court rulings.
The Advocate General of the TEU Dean Spielmann stated that the unprecedented ‘rebellion’ of the judgments of the Constitutional Tribunal of 14 July and 7 October 2021 infringe the priority, autonomy and effectiveness of EU law. He besides felt that the TK could not be considered an independent and impartial court.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki assessed this opinion as "scandalous" and referred to it as "stupid talk".
This constitution of the Polish State is the highest law in the Republic of Poland and no judgement of the Court of Justice (European Union) will change that. I hope that the judges of the Court will not share this opinion. It's scandalous, and I disagree with it 100 percent.
“The erstwhile Prime Minister stressed.
‘Stupid talk’
As Morawiecki added, if “Brussels bureaucrats” proceed to “try to crush the public opinion of individual associate States, it bodes not only to them but to the European Union”.
I would like the European Union to be strong and the European Union to be strong only erstwhile it is based on sovereign associate States. specified foolish talk as what we heard present can only lead to another countries that will wonder profoundly what these bureaucrats at the Court of Justice are doing there.
“PiS politician stressed.
In its judgement of 14 July 2021, the Constitutional Tribunal declared the interim measures of the TEU to be incompatible with the Polish Constitution. The day before, the TEU ordered Poland to suspend the functioning of the Disciplinary Board in the ultimate Court as part of specified a temporary measure.
In its judgement of 7 October 2021. The Constitutional Tribunal stated that European rules authorising national courts to disregard the provisions of the Constitution or to regulation on the basis of repealed standards are incompatible with the Constitution.
The Court besides stated the unconstitutionality of the provisions of the Treaty on EU in so far as EU bodies operate outside the limits of the competences conferred by Poland in the Treaties and the Constitution is not the highest law in the Republic of Poland.
The Constitutional Tribunal besides ruled that the European laws authorising national courts to review the legality of the appointment of a justice by the president and the resolutions of the National Judicial Council on the appointment of judges were incompatible with the Constitution.
