On Wednesday, October 18, 2023, neo-TK neo-TK Bogdan Święczkowski, due to his connection with the PiS organization (candidate to the Sejm from the list of Kaczyński party, which causes his appointment to violate Article 178(3) of the Constitution of Poland) informed about the alleged submission of a notification of suspicion of a coup by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, talker of the Sejm Simon Hołownia and talker of the legislature of Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska. The investigation was initiated by D.A. Michał Ostrowski. The case raised immense controversy, and the erstwhile TK president, justice Jerzy Stępień, did not leave a dry thread on the actions of Święczkowski.
“A devastating coup” – what is it?
Neoprezes neoTK Bogdan Święczkowski described the situation as “a creeping, systemic coup.” “This is not a coup d'état of taking troops into the streets, it is simply a creeping, systemic coup,” he stressed. However, according to justice Jerzy Stępień, specified actions are an effort to make a parallel strategy in Poland.
– We in Poland do not have 2 laws, we have one, but there is simply a group of lawyers, politicians, judges and prosecutors who break the law at all turn for purely political reasons and due to their careers. This is what we are dealing with – says Stępień.
“Fun in a Parallel State” – a informing from justice Stout
Jerzy Stępień, erstwhile president of the Constitutional Court, there is no uncertainty that Święczkowski's actions and his surroundings are an effort to make parallel structures of power. “This is an effort to make a parallel strategy and parallel organs,” the justice says.
– While inactive in power, they utilized force to accomplish their goals. Today, powerless, they hotel to specified a hocus-pocus as this announcement of Mr. Święczkowski. What he's doing is not even spreading chaos anymore, due to the fact that it's ineffective. Playing parallel. But people in October 2023 decided that they did not want specified order, that they wanted to reconstruct the regulation of law and that they would require from power," stressed Stępień.
“Toga usurpers” – the strong words of erstwhile TK president
Judge Tension leaves no illusions about her grades. In his opinion, people specified as Święczkowski or Prosecutor Ostrowski abuse their positions to prosecute private interests. “That is why I would advise decisive steps towards those usurpers who, dressed in toga—judgely or prosecutorial— abuse state bodies for their private interests. I repeat, these are usurpers, and this Mr. Ostrowski from the D.A.'s office, for what he did, should answer disciplinaryly – he concludes.
What happens to the regulation of law in Poland?
The case of the neo-prezes neo-TK notification and the reaction of justice Stępiń shows how deep divisions be in the Polish judiciary. In October 2023 Poles expressed their support for restoring the regulation of law, but actions specified as those taken by Święczkowski and Ostrowski may pose a serious threat to the stableness of the state.
Is Poland moving towards a parallel system? According to Jerzy Stępień, yes. But will society and the fresh authorities let specified plans to be implemented? That question remains open.
