Korneluk, the vice president of Lex Super Omnia, won the competition, defeating 4 other counter-candidates. Now it’s time for the competition for the director of KSSiP. Bodnar also obtained permission to dismiss the president of the District Court in Poznań.

Adam Bodnar presented a plan to the European Commission for fixing the justice system after the PiS government. This is a package of 10 acts, which are intended to help end the disputes with Brussels, unblock the billions for the NRRP and truly reform the courts and the prosecution service. We have the details.

The new government is clearly signaling to both the Polish and global public opinion, as well as to EU institutions and the Council of Europe, that it will abide by the rulings of the CJEU and the ECHR.

Adam Bodnar announces 9 Acts reforming the justice administration. First, the NCJ, the Constitutional Tribunal and the prosecution service, and the solution of the problem of Ziobro’s nominees in the courts – Schab, Radzik, Lasota and Nawacki. He describes his relations with Tusk. He talks about the ‘shocking scale’ of the surveillance with Pegasus

‘Groundless’, ‘incorrect’ and often also ‘illegal’ detentions, police brutality, humiliation – demonstrators are being awarded from several to up to 20,000 zlotys by court order for that. Increasingly more activists are filing successive claims

The European Parliament and the governments of the European Union Member States have agreed on the wording of the directive protecting against groundless civil suits restricting freedom of speech. The EU States have two years to adjust national law. What should the new Polish government do?

‘Start investigations, break up the solidarity of the PiS community, show the accountability on TVP. Liquidate the neo-NCJ with a resolution of the Sejm, do not promulgate the rulings of the Constitutional Tribunal with stand-ins, vet the neo-judges. But don’t try to cure cholera with the plague,’ this is what Professor Marcin Matczak tells us about fixing the courts.

‘The public prosecutor’s office ought to clear itself of its disgrace, and I think the matter of Jarosław Kaczyński’s “Twin Towers” investment is one of its biggest,’ Jacek Dubois tells us. As a judge of the Tribunal of State, he is wondering how to depoliticize the restoration of justice

Laws fixing the courts must be enacted and, if there are presidential vetoes, other solutions should be found. Hold those who broke the law accountable, tidy up the law after Ziobro. The prosecution service is to be reformed – this is what Senator Adam Bodnar, the favourite for the position of the new minister of justice, tells OKO.press about fixing the courts
