Bartosz Lewandowski

Bartosz Lewandowski compared the stance of one of the ministers in Donald Tusk's government, who considered the United States a strategic ally of Poland, with the approach of another minister. As he wrote, the latter believed that the acquisition of the television station by an American entrepreneur needed to be assessed for any threat to national security, while also suggesting the possibility of it being acquired by a hostile state. Lewandowski ended the post with the word "Clearly." #Polska #Bezpieczeństwo #Sojusz (translated)

Bartosz Lewandowski turned to Adam Bodnar, OKO.press, Marcin Jałoszewski, and Anna Wójcik, asking whether the German scholarship paid in euros, which was already received when Bodnar was Minister of Justice, was "legal." He described this situation as amusing. https://t.co/RbhTkbgCT0 #prawo #sprawiedliwość #stypendium (translated)

Bartosz Lewandowski wrote that the person he was referring to was a scholarship holder at German universities and only in 2023 earned over 50,000 PLN. He added ironically that the earnings in euros were supposed to be "lawful" and "democratic." https://t.co/ucXP7qtU2p #Niemcy #stypendium #zarobki (translated)

Bartosz Lewandowski accused Senator Adam Bodnar of hypocrisy and asked how much he received for editing and writing an article in a book published by the German legal publisher Nomos Verlag, with the participation of the Max Planck Society, funded by the German budget. He referred to Bodnar’s text on the judiciary after the power takeover, in which—he wrote—Bodnar advocated for “transitional justice.” Lewandowski described this as consent to lawlessness and the omission of legal principles. He also asked how much Bodnar earned from numerous articles, including those published on the German website while he was a lawyer for the opposition. He accused him of violating the principles he had previously set when he later became the Minister of Justice in Donald Tusk's government. Lewandowski wrote that Bodnar had accused lawyers and academics of participating in the research project of the University of Miskolc, which was supposed to result in a monograph, several dozen scientific articles, and two conferences. He asked whether Bodnar would disclose other international grants he received for his activities in support of the rule of law before— as Lewandowski put it—he boasted about prosecuting the Polish opposition. #hipokryzja #praworządność #polityka (translated)

Bartosz Lewandowski assessed that the cessation by the Minister of Labor of the judge was definitely beneficial for the administration of justice. He recalled the doubts that — as he wrote — arose when the minister was the rapporteur of the case against Professor Wojciech Roszkowski regarding the content in the HiT textbook. #sprawiedliwość #prawo #Polska (translated)

I understand well that the government is pleased with the alleged victory over the President in videos online, but now it must account almost immediately for promises of low fuel prices, and due to the President's decisions, VAT revenues are falling, which exacerbates the government's poor ratings? "It's all good!" https://t.co/bK4TTpghqZ #Polska #rząd #polityka (translated)

The President could not file a lawsuit because the court would very likely dismiss the application due to a formal issue. An editorial office or publisher is not a "campaign committee" within the meaning of the Electoral Code. Courts also recognize that the media do not engage in "electoral agitation" in the sense of the regulations. The trap was set, but wisely it was not possible to fall into it 🙂 #Polska #prawo #media (translated)

In connection with this ruling, is Minister @w_zurek planning to suspend Judge Mielcarek from his official duties, as he has previously done with another judge, will he order the initiation of disciplinary proceedings or will there be an investigation by the National Prosecutor's Office regarding this "unorthodox ruling"? What methods does our "democratic" and "rule-of-law" authority intend to take against judges? #sędziowie #praworządność #demokracja (translated)

This statement by the current Minister of Justice (and former civil judge!) is shameful. The representative of the executive authority essentially suggests that judges appointed after 2017 are less intelligent, and that if @RomanowskiPL were judging the case, it would not have been dismissed "for substantive reasons" if an alleged old judge were presiding. Mr. Minister @w_zurek, before you go telling the media about the lack of substantive grounds for issuing an iron letter, please familiarize yourself with the jurisprudence of the Appeal Courts in Kraków (e.g., II AKz 523/22), Gdańsk (e.g., II AKz 222/22), or Warsaw (e.g., II AKz 1175/25), and then say that the prosecutor's objection blocks the possibility of issuing the letter. You have dedicated many years of your professional life to fighting against @ZiobroPL and you had the Constitution on your lips, yet now you find the "Ziobro" provision suitable, and you dislike the pro-constitutional interpretation of the regulations, although before 2023 your circle spoke completely differently than you do today. And for how you allow yourself to "ride" on judges publicly due to the fact that you do not like their rulings, you should simply be sued by them. If they do, I will cheer them on. #Sprawiedliwość #Prawo #Sędziowie (translated)

Mr. Editor, is this judge finally a "pisior" or a "braunista"? Because Minister Żurek says he’s from @ZiobroPL's stable! I understand that a real judge, not some "impostor" in a gown, is one who posts entries from @Obywatelska_KO, attends KOD marches, praises the authorities, and criticizes the opposition on public television "in liquidation"? Please stop, because you are one of the few journalists who are currently lynching a judge whose ruling you don't like. People have different opinions and they have the right to them. #polityka #sędziowie #media (translated)

The ride of government media has started against the judge who issued a ruling not in favor of the authorities and issued a blacklist @RomanowskiPL. What will happen next? Will there be repercussions for the jobs of his family members? Any disciplinary charges? The prosecutor's office of Minister @w_zurek will start an investigation and will question the court clerks or colleagues from work? #Polska #WymiarSprawiedliwości #Media (translated)

❗️EXPLANATION In connection with the politicians' spin regarding the prosecutor's opposition to the issuance of the ironclad letter, which allegedly prevented the District Court from issuing such a letter, I present statements from court rulings indicating that this is an ABSOLUTELY INCORRECT understanding of the provision of Article 281 paragraph 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. 👉🏻As noted by the Court of Appeal in Gdańsk in its ruling of March 29, 2022, case file II AKz 222/22: “The understanding of the provision of Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure in such a way that the prosecutor's opposition would be binding on the district court would lead to systemic inconsistency and would at the same time be an expression of the prosecutor's privilege over the suspect, while reducing the district court to the role of a subordinate entity to the prosecutor's decision. Such a solution would be extremely ineffective and contradict the requirements of procedural economy, which speaks against involving in a specific proceeding as a procedural body an entity that does not have full powers to resolve the issue at stake in that proceeding. If the legislator intended to grant the prosecutor a decisive voice regarding the issuance of an ironclad letter, considering that they should be equipped with that competence as the body conducting the preparatory proceedings and responsible for its effects, they should have done so explicitly by modifying the provisions on functional competence for issuing an ironclad letter in preparatory proceedings. Since this has not been done, leaving this decision in the hands of the district court, the current regulatory provisions - given their lack of clarity and their systemic inconsistency - should be interpreted on the assumption that primacy should be given to the interpretation taking into account systemic assumptions, including rules resulting from the principles of adversariality and equality of the parties. In summary, the systemic and functional interpretation of Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure leads to the conclusion that the district court considering the suspect's application for the issuance of an ironclad letter in pre-trial proceedings is not bound by the prosecutor's opposition.” 👉🏻Also, the Court of Appeal in Krakow in the case with case file II AKz 523/22 in the justification of the ruling of February 7, 2023: “Analyzing the linguistic interpretation of the aforementioned provision, it is necessary to refer to the designation of the word opposition, which is 'disagreement, protest' (according to SJP PWN - internet service), 'resisting in any form' (...). Also, in the systemic context of the criminal procedure act, 'opposition' means a lack of consent to a specific decision or procedural action and entails a negatory or cassatory effect. This is also how this institution is perceived by W. Hermeliński and B. Nita-Światłowska, indicating that after the amendment the prosecutor was supposed (allegedly) to have the possibility of 'blocking the court with their statement of disagreement on the issuance of an ironclad letter' (...). Therefore, it cannot be acknowledged that the legislator in the amendment to the procedural law on April 20, 2021, established a separate form of 'opposition' and granted the prosecutor shaping powers, i.e., the ability to bind the court with conditions under which the court would consider the suspect's application, especially in the context of applying and shaping the financial guarantee indicated in Article 283 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. This is also supported by the purposive and logical interpretation of the mentioned regulation. The institution of opposition contained in Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure is of an extraordinary nature and was intended by the legislator to limit the judicial independence of the court. Adopting the concept of the possibility of conditioning the opposition on exonerating conditions would lead to a further limitation of the judicial independence of the court than in the case of a literal reading of the provision. (...) In summary - the prosecutor's opposition indicated in Article 281 § 2 of the Code of Criminal Procedure has a purely negatory character and cannot be burdened with any reservations. This does not take away from the prosecutor's ability to formulate a specific procedural position regarding the conditions for the issuance of an ironclad letter - nevertheless, the court ruling on the subject of the ironclad letter is not bound by them.” #prawo #polityka #sprawiedliwość (translated)

Mr. Minister, if you don't like the judge, you can even lead to his removal from office. This happened to Judge Dariusz Lubowski. Now you are condemning another judge "of honor and faith" because he did not rule as you expected. But the Prosecutor's Office under your authority did NOT submit a request to exclude the judge, nor did it want to examine his impartiality. After all, it could have, because the panel was already known. Sometimes you have to accept failures. When you lose a case in court, it's not always because the judge is not right. #sędziowie #sprawiedliwość #prawo (translated)

❗️Kompromitacja @MS_GOV_PL. Pan minister @w_zurek w imieniu Skarbu Państwa musi przeprosić sędziego Jacka Przyguckiego za kłamstwa na jego temat w momencie realizowania przez @Adbodnar czystek w sądownictwie i odwoływania prezesów sądów. Sąd Okręgowy w Warszawie potwierdził, że @MS_GOV_PL za @Adbodnar kłamało na temat sędziego Jacka Przyguckiego aby odwołać go z funkcji Prezesa Sądu Okręgowego w Suwałkach. Tak właśnie wygląda „przywracanie praworządności” w praktyce❗️ #praworządność #sąd #polityka
