Supreme Court President Manowska: If Judge Miąsik refuses, I will simply change the order

He referred in this way to Judge Miąsik’s statement that his authorisation was granted by his position as the longest-serving chairman of the Chamber of the Chamber for Labour and Social Security in this court, and not by the order of the First President of the Supreme Court. He referred to specific provisions of the Law on the Supreme Court and the Law on the Organisation of the Common Courts. According to him, the “authorisation” granted to him by order of the First President of the Supreme Court has no legal basis.

Manowska: I am relieved by Tusk’s words

And the President of the Supreme Court, Małgorzata Manowska, commented on Polsat News on Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s statement about his takeover of the Labour Chamber in the Supreme Court. According to her, “it is clear that this attack by Ms. Manowska cannot be recognized.”

– Something very strange and bad has happened – the Prime Minister said at a press conference, announcing that he would notify Manowska of a suspected crime. – This “attack” by Ms Manowska cannot be accepted. No decent and serious person, including the judges who sit in the Labour Chamber, will respect her absolutely illegal decision to take control of the chamber, Donald Tusk said.

– I am very relieved that the Prime Minister said that I only committed an attack and did not think that I was the head of an organized criminal group – Małgorzata Manowska said on Polsat, commenting on the Prime Minister’s words. – Of course there was no “coup”. I applied the provisions of the Supreme Court Act as they are read, not as I understood them, she added.
