In the document, the deputies expressed concern, saying that “the actual paralysis of the Constitutional Court in Poland threatens democracy, human rights and the rule of law.” The resolution calls on the Polish authorities to fully respect the Commission’s recommendations Venice and to “respect, publish and implement the Constitutional Court’s judgments without further delay.”
however, Parliament supported the European Commission’s decision to launch a dialogue with the Polish authorities in the procedure for the rule of law. “It should clarify whether there is a systemic threat to the democratic values and the rule of law in Poland” – says the resolution.
MEPs share the concerns of the deputy head of the European Commission Frans Timmermans about the possible existence of “two parallel legal systems, which would lead to legal uncertainty “.

faction of conservatives, which includes MEPs PiS reported own draft resolution.

“Poland had a very good name”
– I have this advice, although I am not an advisor to the Polish government, and I do not think that the Polish government was interested in my advice, but it is advice that is universal: if the authorities do not want the international public opinion dealt with her actions, let not provide an excuse. Today, these excuses is too much – said European Council President Donald Tusk, commenting on the resolution of the European Parliament ws. The situation in Poland.
He added that he does not need to exaggerate with the criticism against Polish politicians or Polish MEPs who in Parliament Europe want to deal with the affairs of Polish. – They reach from Warsaw, such voices full of nervousness and criticism that it is against Poland. In fact, those who have their own view on what is happening in Poland, has always sought audience or support in various institutions. He did it PiS opposition does today. This is understandable, and it is absolutely European standard – rated.
In his opinion, the cause of Polish interest for the EU should look “where it actually lies.” – When the invitation of the Venice Commission ignored its subsequent recommendations, it is hardly surprising that it raises some concern – not only among Polish MEPs, but also in the whole of Europe – said Tusk.
– I’ll do everything that any damage to the Polish did not result from the growing criticism that around the Polish government is more pronounced in Europe – announced. – But do not underestimate in Poland such thing as a reputation as a good name, a good brand. Poland had a very good reputation not only in Europe, also due to the very high standards (…) when it comes to compliance with the Constitution, the rule of law and the foundations of democracy. It would be wrong if we lost this good brand definitive – rated.
He added, does not believe that in the near future someone wanted to apply any sanctions against the Polish. According to Tusk, Polish opposition must remember that “no one in Europe will not perform for his employment” and did not win the election.
As said the head of the European Council, eurosceptic politicians in the European Parliament who “support the point of view of PiS what is happening in Poland, “not only represent parties against the EU, but” are too often politicians very closely with Moscow. ” – There are at least ambiguous that some politicians of the ruling camp in Poland, in spite of himself – I think – find the common tune with those who really badly wish Europe – and in my opinion it also means that wrong desire Poland – and who will give much satisfaction to the Kremlin – said Tusk.
– It is always a good time to (…) go on the bright side of power. This advice remains valid, though, as I can see, does not make it a great experience – argued Donald Tusk. – Do not worry so much about what we can do friends in Europe, because nothing bad will not. Worry about that, what harm they can do the ruling Polish – he added.
“Donos Poland”
The EP resolution on the crisis over the Constitutional Court, the denunciation of Poland, which does not take into account all the elements, including the Law on the Court – said before the vote, Senate Speaker Stanislaw Karczewski. He said he regrets that PO politicians do not seek compromise in Poland.
– Do not talk about it AFTER started spoiling the law, it is the PO elected five judges TK accordance with the provisions of the PO against the request of Mr. President Andrew Duda made a very significant and important changes in the system. This resolution – one of four – that is the greatest political support, criticized the Polish government, but does not include all the arguments, does not account for the fact that we have a law that TK can work, does not take account of the fact that you’re the president of the Constitutional Court does not deal with matters , which was called – he said.
Joanna Lichocka: today is the triumph of enemies Polish
He added that “in any European country, the president of the Constitutional Tribunal or the president of the Supreme Court is not present in the media and does not deal with politics, does that, what was called”.
By Karczewski “story shows that Hungary has repeatedly criticized by the EP, they fared. ” He expressed the belief that the same will happen in the case of Polish and that “European politicians in a few weeks or months will praise Polish change.”
The journalists asked a marshal about whether it knows the results of the team of lawyers, appointed by the Speaker Sejm Marek Kuchciński in connection with the opinion of the Venice Commission ws. Polish and whether it will be a “continuation” of meetings of leaders ws. crisis over TK.
Karczewski announced that work is underway team of lawyers and it is possible that next week will be presented “first results” of these works. As stated, he is convinced that the meeting of leaders of the opposition – both parliamentary and extra-parliamentary will continue. He explained that this week they were not, due to the ongoing session of the Sejm and the Senate, and on Friday the meeting of the National Assembly.
She pointed out that “we have a resolution before the talks were held” on a compromise resolution of the dispute around TK. – We work in peace in the parliament. She got the opinion of the Venice Commission, is appointed team was meeting leaders of parliamentary and non-parliamentary parties. In return, we lived to the resolution – stressed Witek.
She noted that the compromise lies in the fact that everyone has to give up something. – She was a suggestion that each group presented one point, which is not able to withdraw and one such, which would go on the compromise. We are waiting, but during this waiting we have a resolution, so I can only deplore the fact that this compromise with the other side is whipped like the roots of a tree. It is a pity – said the head of the political office.
“We need the government of Law and Justice to enforce change their behavior”
– This resolution is support for Poland and Polish, is a signal that we hear from Europe that Poland freedom, Polish achievements last 26 years in Europe are respected, and the values that we believe – shared – said before the vote in the EP, chairman PO Grzegorz Schetyna at a press conference in the Parliament.
He added that the EP resolution is also proof that “breaking the constitution, breaking the law in Poland can not take place without a European response.” – Activities PiS government last month and activity of President Kaczynski shows that this is a simple way to leave the European Union, which leads us PiS government. This is a warning for the PiS-owski government, it is very clear signal that needs to be in Poland adopted – stressed the head of the Platform.
Grzegorz Schetyna on the EP resolution: Poland receives a yellow card, we have to be drawn from this
in his view, the causes of interest to European institutions situation in Poland are here in the country. – It is a question of the government, the parliamentary majority, and unfortunately the president. We need the government of Law and Justice to enforce change their behavior, a change of policy. I believe that this day will be the beginning of such a change – said the leader of the PO.
Asked about the opinions of PiS politicians that the resolution include EuropeanParliament the effect of “denunciations of Poland from the PO,” Schetyna assessed that this type of formulation are embarrassing to their authors. He recalled that the basis for statements made in the draft resolution is the opinion about the Polish, which was released in March, the Venice Commission at the Council of Europe. – I want to remind that it is the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the government Beaty Awl, nominee Jaroslaw Kaczynski turned to the Venice Commission, invited her here – he added Schetyna.
