kt-block-spacer-40886_54541f-c2\"><div class=\"kt-block-spacer kt-block-spacer-halign-center\"><hr class=\"kt-divider\"\/><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, representatives of Polish organizations representing all the legal professions, together with representatives of patriotic circles, met at the seat of Poland\u2019s Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw. The fruit of that meeting is a joint position statement in defense of the Tribunal\u2019s independence and of the supremacy of the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The meeting provided an occasion for joint reflection on the state of the constitutional order of the Republic of Poland, on the significance of the principle of the supremacy of the Constitution, on the independence of the constitutional organs of the state, and on the need to ensure that the Constitutional Tribunal is able to exercise its constitutional powers without disruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The representatives of the circles gathered there, regardless of differences of worldview, profession, or politics, pointed to one fundamental principle that ought to unite everyone taking part in public life: the Constitution of the Republic of Poland binds everyone. It is not the property of any political party, parliamentary majority, government, opposition, professional community, or any social group \u2013 it is the supreme law of the Republic of Poland and the foundation on which the entire apparatus of the state operates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the statement emphasizes, the protection of the constitutional position of the Constitutional Tribunal cannot be treated solely as a dispute concerning a single institution. It bears on the fundamental question of whether, in the Republic of Poland, the limits of public authority are determined by the Constitution and statutes, or whether those limits may be shifted by political decisions, de facto actions, or the practice of state bodies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adopted on September 16, the statement has at the same time become an appeal open for signature by all citizens, under an initiative of the <a href=\"https:\/\/niezalezna.pl\/petycje\/dolacz-do-komitetu-obrony-trybunaly-konstytucyjnego-podpisz-apel\">Committee for the Defense of the Constitutional Tribunal<\/a>. The appeal calls on the public authorities to abandon without delay any actions undermining the independence and the continuity of the Tribunal\u2019s functioning, to fully respect its rulings, and to cease refusing to publish and to enforce the judgments it hands down. The document has already been signed by judges of the courts of appeal and of the regional courts, judges of the Supreme Court \u2013 including retired judges \u2013 prosecutors, legal scholars and university rectors, as well as representatives of legal organizations, including the Ordo Iuris Institute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">*****<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Joint position statement of Polish legal organizations and patriotic circles<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is with deep concern and indignation that we take note of the unlawful interference in the work of the Constitutional Tribunal, and in particular of the announcements by the current political majority that it intends to seize control of the Tribunal by force. We express our categorical opposition to them. We call on all legal circles to defend constitutional standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Tribunal is a constitutional organ holding a special position (Art. 188\u2013197 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland). Its judgments are of universally binding application and are final (Art. 190(1) of the Constitution). Its judges are independent and subject only to the Constitution (Art. 195(1) of the Constitution).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The following in particular must be regarded as inadmissible and as striking at the constitutional order of the state:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 the refusal by the organs of executive power to publish the judgments of the Constitutional Tribunal in the official journals and to respect them,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 the questioning of the status of the Tribunal\u2019s judges and of its adjudicating panels,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 actions by services subordinate to the executive power that strike at the independence of judges and at the independence of the Constitutional Tribunal,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2013 attempts to shape the composition or the leadership of the Tribunal in a manner contrary to the Constitution and to statutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An unlawful seizure of control over the Tribunal would constitute an assault on the constitutional order of the state, on the principle of the separation of powers (Art. 10 of the Constitution), and on the principle of a democratic state ruled by law (Art. 2 of the Constitution).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We call on all organs of public authority to cease immediately any actions striking at the independence and the continuity of the Tribunal\u2019s functioning, and to fully respect its judgments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In defending the independence of the Constitutional Tribunal, we are standing in defense of the fundamental principles of the legal order. Under the principle of legalism expressed in Art. 7 of the Constitution, political power has its limits, and those limits are set by the Constitution and by the provisions of the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An independent Constitutional Tribunal is the indispensable guarantor of the supremacy of the Constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On September 16, the appeal was signed by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u0141ukasz Bernaci\u0144ski, Ph.D. \u2013 member of the Board of the Ordo Iuris Institute for Legal Culture<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adam Borowski \u2013 anti-communist activist, Civic Ombudsman<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Beata Dr\u00f3\u017cd\u017c \u2013 Coordinator of the Gazeta Polska Clubs for the \u0141\u00f3d\u017a Voivodeship, Chair of the Gazeta Polska Club in Piotrk\u00f3w Trybunalski<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Dr. Jaros\u0142aw Du\u015b \u2013 retired judge of the Supreme Court<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Genowefa Grabowska \u2013 expert in international and European law<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Adam Jaworski, Ph.D. \u2013 judge, Nationwide Association of Judges \u201cS\u0119dziowie RP\u201d (Judges of the Republic of Poland)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Micha\u0142 Lasota \u2013 judge of the Court of Appeal in Warsaw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Prof. Anna \u0141abno \u2013 expert in the field of constitutional law, Tarn\u00f3w Academy<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">9.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Joanna P\u0105sik \u2013 judge of the Regional Court in Warsaw<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u0141ukasz Konrad Piebiak, Ph.D. \u2013 judge, president of Lawyers for Poland<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Przemys\u0142aw W.
