The judge who did not recognize the application should face disciplinary action. Independence means the right to assess evidence, not the right to deliberately prolong proceedings. If a decision is made, it can always be appealed. Prolonging is facilitating the criminal. (Original: Sędzia, który nie rozpoznał wniosku powinien mieć postępowanie dyscyplinarne. Niezawisłość oznacza prawo do oceny materiału dowodowego, a nie prawo do świadomego przewlekania postępowania. Jeśli wyda decyzję to zawsze można ją zaskarżyć. Przewlekanie to ułatwianie przestępcy) #Justice #LegalReform #Accountability #PL

The Constitutional Court rejected the loss of nationality for foreigners who commit crimes of homicide, rape, or drug trafficking. This is completely unreasonable. The law should be reaffirmed in Parliament or a referendum should be called for the Portuguese to express their opinion. (Original: O Tribunal Constitucional chumbou a perda de nacionalidade para estrangeiros que cometam crimes de homicídio, violação ou tráfico de droga. Isto é totalmente irrazoável. A lei deve ser reconfirmada no Parlamento ou convocado um referendo para que os portugueses se pronunciem.) #NationalIdentity #LegalReform #PublicOpinion #PT
