‘Concerns are increasingly being voiced that our country has reached a critical point in its recent history, and that it is up to the Constitutional Tribunal, among others, to ensure that the path of development chosen in 1989, based on the principle of a democratic state of law and integration with Western Europe, is not interrupted.’ – a statement by 25 retired judges of the Constitutional Tribunal

During the hearing, the CJEU suspended the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court with such a ruling.

This is an interpretation of international law like that from imperial states, from Russia,’ considers Professor Jerzy Kranz.
