It appears that Waldemar Żurek, after the cancellation of 25 presidents and vice presidents of territory and territory courts, does not halt for a moment. On Thursday 18 September, he appeared at the conference, during which he announced that there were 2 further appeals by the Presidents.
Żurek dismisses further judges and establishes a fresh squad of prosecutors
This is about military courts. A simultaneous decision by the Minister of Defence and Justice is essential there. These 2 cases are inactive being dealt with," he said. He besides mentioned how, under the leadership of Zbigniew Ziobry, the functioning of colleges of judges has changed, which now have negative opinions about Żurek's decisions.
– Colleges of courts were erstwhile judicial bodies, but besides judicial self-government. The members of the colleges were elected by all the judges of the court afraid and were to strike a balance for the activities of the president appointed by the Minister of Justice. These colleagues in the bill were converted by Minister Ziobra into assembly of governors, appointed by Minister Ziobra. The rule of judicial separateness and 3 divisions of power has been shaken – he explained.
Żurek besides formed a new, peculiar team, consisting of 4 prosecutors: – Workingly we call him a squad for neo-judge activities in the ultimate Court and ultimate Administrative Court – and added that "these prosecutors will participate in cases decided by neo-judges".
In addition, a announcement was submitted to the D.A. on the "neo-KRS" case. – We are trying to get from this body (from the KRS) papers to which we should have access. Turns out it's impossible, there's blockages here, so we're not gonna wait, we're gonna act. And specified a announcement was made," he explained.
Finally, the Minister of Justice mentioned ready draft laws. – We have a bill prepared to return from the judges' remainder or extend the work of judges, voluntary. There is simply a nomination crisis because, according to many legal authorities, we do not have a legal KRS, we do not announce fresh posts in courts, and there are quite a few cases," he concluded.
