What is simply a plea, who is simply a plea? According to the “Polish language dictionary” the complaint is “an act of treason” or “apostasy”, so the suspect is simply a traitor or apostate. This concept is spread especially by the camp calling itself "Pro-Polish", utilizing the somewhat extended meaning of the word – besides knowing it as acting against the interests of its own country and nation.
I have always opposed hastily and easy throwing specified accusations, indicating that the Polish interest can be understood in various ways, and that close to the PiS camp is not the only one. It is completely unfounded to accuse anyone who does not share the written views.
However, there are circumstances in which I will usage this word without much hesitation. These are exceptional circumstances and these are what we are presently dealing with. Today, I would so call 5 of the 9 members of the State Election Commission. Panów: Ryszard Kalisz, Konrad Składowski, Ryszard Balicki, Paweł Gieras and Maciej Klis. These 5 people supported a resolution of the PCW a fewer weeks ago on the non-execution of the ultimate Court's Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs Chamber, which took into account the repeal of the Law and Justice Office's earlier decision to retreat the subsidy. This resolution is simply a proof of the worst impeachment: 5 representatives of the presently ruling coalition (two represent KO, 1 each – Lewica, Poland 2050 and PSL) are ready to burn the state and lead to civilian war in the name of organization interests. Wasn't that always the most extremist synonym for insolence—the willingness to plunge the state into its own interests or interests of its party? specified motivations were made by open traitors specified as Jerome Radziejowski during the Swedish Flood and Franciszek Ksawery Branicki during the partition parliament.
To realize the horror of the 5 gentlemen's decisions, 1 must realize the legal background of the dispute. In summary, the PKW took a majority of 5 to 4 votes (in the second group was justice Sylwester Marciniak, president of the committee) of the resolution, whereby it refused to act in accordance with the electoral code, namely the immediate implementation of the decisions of the ultimate Court, specifically its Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs. The ruling coalition argues that this chamber does not exist, as its members were appointed in cooperation with the current power of the National Judicial Council.
There is no doubt, however: nothing gives the PKW the right to abstain from a decision which the provisions of the Code require of it unconditionally under the order of the ultimate Court. It is not the PKW that decides whether an SN chamber exists and acts in accordance with the law or not. Moreover, no global tribunals, including the European Court of Human Rights and the EU Court of Justice, are authorised to do so. And even if they presume that they have any authority in this respect, there is no ruling, contrary to the propaganda of the camp of power, indicating that the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs is “not a court” and should be treated as non-existent. And even if specified a ruling existed, no Polish authority could, on the basis of it, make its own decisions on the designation or non-recognition of IKNiSP decisions.
The resolution of the PCW is all the more perfidious that it officially states that the ruling authorities are to "explain" the legal situation of the SN. But 5 lawyers voting for this resolution are not devoid of reality. They know perfectly well that this is not possible – unless again on a rhyme, any kind of out-of-statutory road. They know that the ruling coalition will not propose any solution that would be acceptable to the president – due to the fact that an "explaination" of the situation would require a revision of the ultimate Court Act. possibly their resolution is simply a kind of blackmail to the head of state: either Andrzej Duda will be ready to sign solutions striking at the establishment of the validity of the erstwhile changes, or the elections will be threatened.
In the name of organization games of the power camp, 5 gentlemen from the PKW took hostage the stableness of the state, which is in a very hard situation anyway. Their resolution – if the PKW is consistent here – means that the PKW will no longer accept any IKNiSP decisions. On which, by the way, no 1 has always made any substantive objections. And that, according to the SN Act, IKNiSP is competent to resolve any disputes and appeals against the PKW decision during the campaign, i.e. the decision to refuse registration of the election committee or candidate. It then states the validity or nullity of the elections and examines citizens' complaints about their conduct. There is no “default” importance of elections – contrary to propaganda – that would not do anything, due to the fact that 1 can be almost certain that there will be many protests in the current atmosphere.
Without delving into possible scenarios of events, it is essential to realize that the resolution of the PCW can lead to a conflict so deep that Poland will become like Georgia today, with riots, battles with police on the streets, possibly even a state of emergency. In specified circumstances there is besides no certainty about the loyalty of the service – after all, police officers and soldiers are besides voters.
We can face a situation erstwhile about half of the citizens participating in the elections feel robbed of their vote – and the introduction to this disaster has already been made. The resolution of the PCW fulfils a double role: not only does it mean to challenge the decision of the IKNiSP, but besides to neglect to implement the decision of the SN to grant the PiS subsidies gives the asumpt to later submit an electoral protest in the event of the PiS candidate losing. This protest will be easy justified by the fact that, contrary to the decision of the SN, the organization was deprived of funds to conduct the campaign, so the conditions of competition were unequal. The IKNiSP will accept specified a protest with large probability, recognise the nullity of the elections and order them to be repeated – which PKW and power will not recognise. What's next? That leaves your imagination. For example, Mr. Marshal Holownia is dreaming of holding the office of president – although the constitution does not give him specified a right under specified circumstances.
We can and even request to remind you that it was the Law and Justice that brought this threat upon us, changing the way the members of the PCW were selected to be purely political. At the minute there are only 2 judges, nominated by the Presidents of the Constitutional Court and the Chief Administrative Court (it is justice Marciniak, who seems terrified of the direction in which matters are heading). Only that the unquestionable faults of the Law and Justice are not an excuse for the actions of the majority in the PCW.
I don't know what's going on in those 5 members' heads. What kind of arrangements do they sit in, how much they're able to put their head at risk. possibly at least 1 of them will be sobered in time and will realize that the stableness of the Polish state may depend on his voice – no substance how much the current power would gotta confront. Radziejowski, whom Henryk Sienkiewicz retained in an unholy function in the first chapters of the Flood, as the 1 who introduced Karol Gustav's troops to Poland, yet obtained the King's forgiveness and died during a risky message to Turkey, working for the Republic. I inactive hope that the MPs from the PKW will be able to go beyond the limits of their social and organization loyalty, break off their leash and behave responsibly. This truly isn't a game to take down evil PiS. It's a game of fire at national level.
