The Holovnia admitted in an interview with journalists in the Sejm that he was satisfied with the results of the vote. — I am very glad that it was passed present (the alleged "accident Act"). I hope that the legislature will rapidly accept it and that president Andrzej Duda, in the spirit of work for this transfer of power, which is 1 of the most crucial tasks of all public officer, will sign this bill “ He said.
As he added, the first proposal prepared by the Polish club 2050-TD was different, but agrees to the changes "if this is the price for ensuring the safety of the election". “The introduction of criterion 15 of the oldest service of SN judges distances us from talking about the position of judges, the position of the home of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the SN and finds an nonsubjective criterion that can be resisted to guarantee that Poles are elected president,” stressed the talker of the Sejm.
He noted that among the oldest judges of the SN there was no 1 who was appointed to service in the times of the PRL. "All those who were called to the SN are judges who began their way in the ultimate Court in the 3rd Republic. 8 of them were appointed by president Lech Kaczyński," said Hołownia.

Here, the judges execute another act that the ultimate Court does in specified situations as the Constitution requires. Well This is another argument for the President, who I hope will sign this bill “He added.
The Sejm adopted the Act of Incident

The Sejm besides accepted, among another things, an amendment according to which, where 2 or more judges have the same word of service as a justice of the ultimate Court, precedence to sitting in the composition of the election of the president is given to a justice with a longer standing as judge.
Under the SN Act, the question of the validity of the election of the president is decided by the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs. However, its position is contested, inter alia, by the current authorities, which mention to the jurisprudence of the TEU and the ECHR in this case, which is why the alleged "accident law" has to solve this problem so that the validity of the President's election is not raised by doubt.
