"An unfortunate bill". Left against the suggestions of Marshal Holownia
Let us remind that according to the assumptions of the alleged emergency law, the validity of the elections for president in 2025 would be ruled by 15 ultimate Court judges with the oldest service in the position of judge. It is now a competence Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs SN.
However, in view of the unclear position of this home – for part of the political scene – the leader of Poland 2050 proposed changes.
Simon Holovnia argued that the incidental law was “security for presidential elections“ and appealed for compromise. – Let the president drop this home of Extraordinary Control, Let's skip the judges' position for this 1 moment. - He offered.
Let us remind you that it would enable all judges of the ultimate Court to regulation on the validity of elections, including those who were appointed – according to the ruling coalition – by the defectively elected National Judicial Council After 2017.
However, the bill has not only convinced the President, but doubts about the solution also reported the Left. – This is not an act of incident, this is unfortunate bill. due to the fact that casual collaboration with evil is evil. Is the one-off and episode of specified collaboration improving the situation, improving the regulation of law in Poland?
