The delivery of diesel fuel, for which Trump publicly thanked Putin, is also contrary to a law passed in 2022 that prohibits the supply of Russian energy to the United States during the period in which Russia is conducting a war against Ukraine. #Trump #geopolityka #Rosja (translated)

Mickpl wrote that during the Senate's work on the bill regulating Airbnb rentals, there was lobbying from three foundations. According to him, these organizations demanded a change in the definition of hotel services, which would allow funds that had announced plans to build hotels but ultimately built rental apartments to avoid paying a 23% VAT. The author noted that the argument raised was the possible negative effects on students. In his opinion, this referred to individuals renting rooms in private dormitories for 3,000 PLN. He added that signing lease agreements could provide tenants with protection, and the status of students was not to be verified. Mickpl indicated that comments could be submitted regarding print number 863, as well as concerning the cooperatives he had written about earlier. #airbnb #ustawa #wynajem (translated)

The author of the entry wrote that Nawrocki vetoed the bill on the execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights. He added that he initiated work on it as an opposition MP, and then continued it as Deputy Minister of Justice.

We will work to ensure that all payments proceed smoothly and reach their intended recipients,” Dmitriev declared. There are so many layers of sanctions imposed one on top of another that everyone has gotten lost in this. It is difficult to determine how to get out of this situation now. This law clearly complicates the implementation of Russian-American projects and also limits the role of both countries in stabilizing energy markets and the functioning of the global economy,” Dmitriev stated. As Kirill Dmitriev, the Kremlin's special envoy for investments, informed, the Trump administration is working to lift at least some of them. Kirill Dmitriev, the Kremlin's special envoy for investments and head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF), reported on Friday that the U.S. Treasury Department has asked his fund for assistance in resolving issues related to payments for Russian diesel fuel - it aims to facilitate settlements and resolve current technical problems. #Rosja #sankcje #współpraca (translated)

Magda wrote that Nawrocki had deemed the new law unnecessary the day before because Polish services already had the tools to block such content. The author accused him of not telling the truth: in her opinion, the services currently do not have a general authority to order the immediate blocking of recordings of violent crimes, such as a school attack being streamed live. Magda noted that special powers pertain to terrorist content, but not every violent attack is terrorism. In her view, this gap is to be filled by the new law, and presenting existing tools as equivalent to those that the law will introduce is false. #polityka #bezpieczeństwo #internet (translated)

The terms of three judges of the Tribunal expire this year on November 6. If we leave four months, even assuming that the law is quickly passed, it has a 30-day vacatio legis and will effectively prevent the selection of three judges of the Tribunal this year. Present at the meeting of the Commission as an expert, Professor Marek Chmaj, "speaking in agreement with Mr. President Andrzej Rzepliński," pointed out that "the terms of three judges of the Tribunal expire this year on November 6. If we leave four months, even assuming that the law is quickly passed, it has a 30-day vacatio legis and will effectively prevent the selection of three judges of the Tribunal this year." #TrybunałKonstrukcyjny #Polityka #Prawo (translated)

The government did not agree to the proposal of the author of another fee project, the Deputy Minister of Sport and Tourism Ireneusz Ras, to redirect part of the collected funds (initially he proposed 18 percent, and later, during the legislative process in the Senate, at least 10 percent) to the Polish Tourism Organization for the purpose of promoting regions. #Turystyka #OpłataMiejscowa #Samorządy (translated)

Max Hübner wrote that the addressee finally read the opinion of the Venice Commission that he had ordered. According to Hübner, it stated that the Polish law requires the swearing-in of persons chosen by the Sejm in the presence of the president. He added that despite considering the opinion insignificant, the addressee had already sent Berek to the office of a person he referred to as a Soviet communist. https://t.co/aYmjG6fv7W #Polska #KomisjaWenecka #Prawo (translated)

Roman Giertych criticized Karol Nawrocki for announcing that Maciej Berek is not a judge. He believed that such a position showed how Nawrocki and his surroundings understood presidential powers: as the right to ultimately approve individuals appointed to positions or taking an oath. Giertych assessed that the consolidation of such an interpretation could lead to an actual dictatorship or absolute monarchy. He argued that the president could then refuse to sign a law despite a veto override or appoint a prime minister chosen by the Sejm. He reminded that according to the Constitution, the president must sign the law within 7 days of the veto override, and Article 154 provides for the appointment of a prime minister elected by the Sejm and ministers at his request. He also pointed out that a two-thirds majority is needed for impeachment. As a hypothetical example, he cited a situation in which, after the victory of the Civic Coalition and its majority, Mateusz Morawiecki would become prime minister, and Nawrocki would later refuse to appoint Donald Tusk chosen by the Sejm. Giertych also claimed that according to such an interpretation, judges, officers, generals, and ambassadors could not be appointed or professorships, citizenship, or honors granted without the president's consent. He defined the dispute surrounding the Constitutional Tribunal as a conflict over whether after the 2027 elections the government will designate the Sejm or Nawrocki. He warned the president that the interpretation he was pushing would mean changing the Constitution without following proper procedures and could lead to a coup against the Constitutional Tribunal and create grounds for undermining the government. He added that who will govern after 2027 will be decided by Poles in the general elections in the fall of next year. According to Giertych, Nawrocki's stance could exacerbate social relations and even lead to violence, for which the president would bear responsibility. #Polska #Konstytucja #Demokracja (translated)

The author of the post questioned Duda about what specific actions and legal grounds justified his accusation of attempting to forcefully take control of the Constitutional Tribunal. He also asked whether the call for mobilization of members of the NSZZ "Solidarity" was meant to defend the competencies of the Sejm, the new judges, or the current personal arrangement in the Tribunal. He recalled that Article 1 of the law on trade unions defines the role of unions as representing and defending the rights and professional and social interests of employees. He emphasized that he did not question Duda's right to speak on constitutional matters or to organize peaceful demonstrations, but asked why he involved union structures in defending the current leadership of the Tribunal. Referring to the squabbles before the Tribunal, the author of the post asked whether Duda assessed the risk of escalation and anticipated security measures before the call for mobilization. He cited Article 57 of the Constitution and the obligations of organizers and leaders of assemblies arising from the law on assemblies. He asked whether Duda could guarantee that participants would not block entrances to institutions or hinder the legal actions of officials. The author stressed that merely declaring peaceful intentions, in his opinion, does not ensure safety, and asked whether Duda informed participants about the risk of confrontation. He also pointed out that "Solidarity" should not be, as he put it, the political backing of any party, and finally asked whether Duda would personally take responsibility for organizing the assembly and ensuring the safety of its participants. #TrybunałKonstytucyjny #Solidarność #PrawaCzłowieka (translated)

The author of the entry referred to the comparison made by Professor Grabowska, who likened the selection of a Constitutional Tribunal judge to the admission of a person without a high school diploma to university. He asked why similar procedural requirements are not applied to the election of President Karol Nawrocki. He recalled that Article 129(1) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland indicates the Supreme Court as the body determining the validity of the presidential election. However, he noted that the resolution in this matter was adopted by the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs, the status of which as a court established by law — as he wrote — has been questioned in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union. He added that the National Electoral Commission pointed out irregularities requiring judicial assessment and the need for the case to be heard by a panel whose independence would not be in doubt. The author emphasized that he does not prejudge the invalidity of Nawrocki's election. He also reminded that taking the oath provided for in Article 130 of the Constitution does not by itself remove any potential defects in the earlier electoral procedure. He asked whether constitutional requirements are applied selectively, depending on the political support for a given person. #KonstytucjaRP #SądNajwyższy #Polityka (translated)
