A wall that won't let Kaczyński's opponents rule:
1. President:
• Another year and 9 months, Andrzej Duda will sign or not all passed bill. To reject a presidential veto, you request 276, out of 460 MPs. KO, the 3rd Road and the Left is so missing 28 votes.
• In October, a bill came into force, which gave the president greater competence in European affairs. The government will gotta submit candidates for the post of Commissioners, associate of the Court of Auditors, justice of the Court of Justice of the EU or Advocate General of the TEU for approval. Andrzej Duda will be able to block many nominations, from judges, through generals, to the EU.
2. Constitutional Court:
All of the 15 judges are allies of the present camp. For the opposition to gain the majority, it must choose 8 of the 15 judges. This will not happen until 30 January 2027.
3. National Bank of Poland:
NBP president Adam Glapiński has a constitutionally secured term, which expires only in mid-2028.
4. National Judicial Council:
It consists of 25 members, including 15 judges elected by the Sejm for 4 years. The fresh Sejm must elect at least 5 fresh judges, which will take place at the earliest in May 2026, to change the order of power in the KRS. Until then, then, the Law and Justice will proceed to influence the appointments of judges, both to the general courts and to the ultimate Administrative Court or the ultimate Court.
5. National Prosecutor:
Although the national prosecutor and his deputies appoint and dismiss the Prime Minister, he has to get the opinion of the president since 2022. Without the President's opinion, changing the national prosecutor is impossible. Since September, the national prosecutor has gained almost all the powers of the lawyer General by law. Earlier, the tasks were ceded by an interior order, but Zbigniew Ziobro made certain to legally warrant his influence in the prosecution in the event of failure of power.
6. National Broadcasting Council:
The six-year word of office of 5 members of the NRA does not end until September 2028.
7. Financial Supervision Commission:
The word of office of KNF president Jack Jastrzębski ends in November. However, everything indicates that Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki nominates the head of supervision for the next 5 years.
8th National Media Council:
The six-year word of office of 3 of the 5 members of the RMN, recognized as the hard core of the PiS, ends only in 2028. It is about Krzysztof Czabański, Joanna Lichocka and Piotr Babinetz. They can't be cancelled before.
Without a favorable RMG there is no chance of changing the board of TVP, Polish Radio and Polish Press Agency.
9. Office for Competition and Consumer Protection:
His president will be Tomasz Chróstny until 2028.
The function of UOKiK is very big. It is he who ensures that companies, including companies of the Treasury, do not abuse their competitive advantage and care for consumers' interests.
For example, the president of UOKiK considered that in December 2022 Orlen did not abuse his dominant position by inducing fuel prices. He agrees to mergers and acquisitions, as was the case, for example, in the transaction of Orlen's acquisition of the Polish Press media.
