EU: Kamiński requested a debate in the EP committee on the TK

Euro MP Mariusz Kamiński (PiS) made a request to extend the agenda to a point concerning the situation around the Constitutional Court in Poland on Wednesday at the gathering of the European Parliament's Committee on civilian Liberties (LIBE).

Commission president Javier Zarzalejos (EPP) pointed out that policy could benefit from the appropriate procedure.

Kamiński said on Wednesday morning at a committee gathering in Brussels that there was a serious constitutional crisis in Poland, and that the actions of Donald Tusk's government towards the Constitutional Court are, in his opinion, contrary to the Constitution and laws and have “signed coup”.

– For the first time in the past of the European Union, the government introduced a compact police force into the territory of an independent constitutional court. The executive authority, utilizing violence, is trying to take control of the Constitutional Court," said the Euro MP.

The politician stressed that the actions of the government were condemned by the president of Poland, the first president of the ultimate Court, the president of the ultimate Administrative Court, and the Helsinki Foundation for Human Rights.

– The drastic violation of the regulation of law that the Tusk government has committed requires debate in this committee," said Kamiński.

He pointed out that the LIBE committee is dealing with the issues of the regulation of law, so it should not be indifferent to events in Poland. The MEP besides called on the committee president to support the proposal personally.

Zarzalejos, responding to Kamiński's speech, informed that the Wednesday agenda of the committee had already been established and that the policy could benefit from the procedure provided for, i.e. he could submit a request for the next meeting. He did not express his support for the proposal and announced that he would examine it.

The Kamiński office in the EP then forwarded to PAP that the request for a debate at the next gathering had been submitted.
