"The Senate-backed parliament passed a shameful law on impunity for utilizing weapons. There is no EU country where a akin law has been adopted. The Constitution, EU and RE law and UN principles have been violated. A protective umbrella has been created for officers who can act illegally" – written by Hanna Machinska Following the legislature decision, which supported the task by 83 votes. The legislature amendments did not cover the essential point of the Act on the amendment of certain laws in order to improve the activities of the Armed Forces of the Republic of Poland, the Police and the Border defender in the event of a threat to the safety of the state, i.e. the decriminalisation of the non-compliant usage of weapons.
Using a weapon against the law will not be a crime. I would very much like to know what he was convinced of this thought Adam Bodnar, erstwhile ombudsman, and present Minister of Justice, who seeks to reconstruct the regulation of law in Poland. On the another hand, Senator Maciej Żywno, who himself was an activist, was providing humanitarian aid, and he knows well that there are civilians at the border, at different ages, and not the “bands”, “hords”, “bandits”, as the Sejm said, another MPs who dream of war, yet abstained.
What caused people to vote in favour of the project, knowing how crucial it is to abide by the constitution, regulations, and how dangerous the deregulations, specialities, carried out in addition in haste, contrary to the principles of the Sejm's rules, under force and – what to hide – with simple primitive blackmail, where the expertise of lawyers, cardinals, constitutionalists pale.
Privileges for shooters include further dehumanisation of migrants
On page of current RPO readthat the Act exempting officers does not meet the request of proportionality with respect to the protection of life. The Ombudsman’s doubts are besides raised by the fact that the bill allows officers to do more and at the same time removes work from them, which simply confers a privilege on the accused, which is contrary to the constitution. If you want to be unpunished and privileged, go to the war – promises the bill. And if individual tries to settle you, the state will give you a public defender.
So how will investigations be conducted in the event of death at the border? "According to Article 38 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, the State provides legal protection of life, and Article 2 of the ECHR provides that the right of all individual to live is protected by the Act. (...) Acting in accordance with the standards of Article 38 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and Article 2 of the ECHR, the courts must never leave the issue of work for the unwarranted vulnerability to life as a consequence of public or military negligence,” writes the RPO, adding that the fresh rules, allowing the refusal to initiate proceedings, could be brought before the European Court of Human Rights.
Unless the death of a migrant remains a mystery of the buffer zone, and the traces of the crime will leave animals behind. due to the fact that do migrants have a chance to prosecute their rights? There is no balance here due to the fact that the state, utilizing pushbacks, does not even want to recognise the presence of migrants in Poland, not only that they have rights that defend their lives and health.
A bill that favors shooters, symbolically dehumanizing the shooters. It's like the Sejm and the legislature are following the anti-immigrant hunt we see on X, following people who are straight calling for violence, charging victims with work for their own death at the borderer's hand, for "why did they come here?" These peculiar entries are no different from what was said from the Sejm talker by the legislators.
Would it be stupid to back out?
The RPO indicates that if the legislator sees specified a need, it can besides be in accordance with the Constitution. Critic opinions on the bill and the way it is conducted are known to the politicians of the ruling coalition for a long time. So why are they not inclined to reflect, but follow the trail, or actually trampled by the PiS in the canyon of chaos, deregulation, the atmosphere of an emergency state, on which the law besides – extra-constitutionally – allows?
Maybe they're afraid that withdrawing from unconstitutional solutions will get in their way. That since Donald Tusk had already gone to the border, since Kosiniak-Kamish was behaving as a military gendarmerie, since politicians had taken the hand-held controls of another organ – they had to go further due to the fact that they would exposure themselves to ridiculousness?
Yes, it might even be funny: bloating, the bold words à la "we will not quit a button", mars faces, completely serious statements about how we must our soldiers who have wolverines, defend against people with branches or slingshots. Tales of pre-war or war state – erstwhile it is seen that politicians themselves do not believe what they say, due to the fact that if the situation were so serious, Kosiniak-Kamish, Minister of National Defense, would not undermine the stableness of the government, would not endanger to leave the coalition.
You would laughter if it wasn't for human life and it was for those who are already in a hard position and sometimes tragic, or migrants, who become scapegoats again.
The coalition is falling apart, the promised laws are gone, the PiS clearing commissions are clearly misdirected. The defence of the border becomes the last field where the coalition speaks almost with 1 voice, and the message is suitable for populist slogans.
Who can tell the government he's wrong? Krystyna Pavlowicz rushes to answer: “Hanya, whether or not the Constitution has been violated, the Constitutional Court will only regulation on that.”
Yes, sir. The government puts us, civilian society, who apparently, as the only actor on this stage, cares about the regulation of law, in an highly hard situation. What if this unconstitutional bill is vetoed by president Duda? Or will she send her back to TK of Julia Przyłębska?
This will most likely not happen, due to the fact that the United Right camp's pseudo-patriotic attitude of most MPs and senators who supported the decriminalization of the illegal usage of weapons at the border is in hand. In the hands of the Law and Justice, there is all proof that the devastate of the regulation of law was better than they could have thought. That our reasoning of law was devastated. That the rulers believe that they can ignore the rules, and fame, glory and authority will bring them legislative efficiency, that is, pushing the knee written on a napkin in a soldier's canteen of ideas.
If they could, we could, and if they could, we could. With each subsequent deregulation proposed by the fresh democratic government, the imagination of the punishment and settlement of the regulation of the United Right is blurred.
Violence Monopoly
In the meantime, those who have been besides shy to show a "patriotic" initiative so far have gained courage – self-proclaimed "citizens" fish in the woods, humiliate, punish, kneel or lie face to face, deprive freedom. They collect sleighs and encourage force on social media.
That's what you wanted, MPs and senators? Self-righteous? If so, you should consider the general access to weapons. You will thus fulfil another (after the abortion ban) Confederate Dream, Luke Warzechy and another “darwinists” whose regulation of law bores and bores. Why be privileged only to service and hunt? Let's play with everyone.
