“Politically elected non-judges already have a majority in the Supreme Court. They have completely taken over the special chamber – emergency control and public affairs, which decides the most important issues of the state,” – writes Christian Markiewicz on the website sklep.pl. . The head of the judicial association “Justice” accused of extreme politicization notes: The storm around the Supreme Court and the case of Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Vesic.
Markevich attacks the Chamber of Emergency Control and Public Affairs. “It is used to maintain some order in the media, in an unusual way, to cancel any decision that is “not in favor” of the authors of the ongoing nightmare in the Polish justice system and to control the judges. asserts. “Marshal of the Seimas, Shimon Holownia, rightly handed over the decisions on the expiration of the mandates of MPs Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Vasik to the Labor Chamber of the Supreme Court. Real, legal judges are still working in this chamber, and its president is a real judge. Professor Piotr Prusinowski,” says the judge.

“The hope of restoring the rule of law in Poland will be saved by the decisions of the European tribunals – in Strasbourg and Luxembourg,” says Christian Markewicz, adding that “the systematic repair of the rule of law cannot be limited to the Constitutional Tribunal and the Supreme Court. Clear decisions are needed regarding the Neo-National Council of the Judiciary and all non-judges.
He then addresses the “legitimate Supreme Court Justices.” “It is not enough, dear colleagues, that you yourself make a decision without the participation of non-judges in the panels. Stop assigning issues – here, by the way, I bow: Judge Prof. Piotr Prusinowski, President of the Labor Chamber of the Supreme Court – People who are not judges within the meaning of the law. A problem doesn't go away by turning a blind eye and pretending it doesn't exist. Don't wait to see what the parliament will do. Courage!” – urges the head of “Yusitya”.
Markevich also addresses the Speaker of the Seimas. “Legislative authorities should do everything to restore the proper situation in the Supreme Court today. But also all Polish women and all Poles should have the equal guarantee of the law – not only in the matters that Marshall personally deals with. Because the constitution guarantees it. Everyone has the right to a fair trial in all matters and it is the duty of the state to provide them to everyone. We cannot continue to ignore the problem of non-judges because there are other, more important issues – and unfortunately, I have recently heard such statements, not only from politicians, but also in the media,” we read.
