The Association "Iustitia" presented a proposal during an Extraordinary Delegates' Meeting held on February 7, urging President Karol Nawrocki to sign a recently passed amendment to the law governing the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS) and the electoral code. This amendment aims to restore the constitutional election of KRS members by returning that responsibility to judges. The association emphasizes that this reform is crucial for upholding the independence of the judiciary, which is essential for guaranteeing citizens' rights to fair trials.

The resolution also highlights that the current KRS's term ends on May 12, 2026, which presents a pressing deadline for implementing these reforms. The group insists that Polish judges must recognize their responsibility for the future of the KRS, which is intended to safeguard the rule of law. They argue that President Nawrocki's ability to veto this law necessitates proactivity from the judicial community to secure the election of a new KRS that meets constitutional standards.

By framing the election process in line with EU standards, "Iustitia" aims not only to advocate for judicial integrity but also to align Polish practices with European norms. Their call for reform indicates a broader struggle within Poland over judicial independence and governance, especially in light of concerns about the current judiciary's composition and its implications for democratic processes.
