The article highlights a resolution from the 'Iustitia' Association that presents a controversial proposal concerning the election of judges to the National Council of the Judiciary (KRS) in Poland. The resolution urges President Karol Nawrocki to sign an amendment to the KRS law that was prepared by the Ministry of Justice at the end of January. There is a significant emphasis on ensuring that the elections for judicial members of the KRS are conducted in a transparent and representative manner, adhering to the constitutional values of Poland.

If the president opts for a veto, the resolution outlines an alternative whereby the Sejm (the lower house of the Polish parliament) would merely confirm the election of judges based on existing legal provisions from the law dated May 12, 2011. This approach is designed to uphold the integrity of the election process, allowing judges to be chosen through direct elections among their peers across the nation, which would be in compliance with European Union standards.

This discussion arises amidst ongoing debates about judicial independence and governance in Poland, where recent changes to the judiciary have drawn criticism both domestically and from international bodies. The resolution from 'Iustitia' reflects a growing sentiment among legal practitioners regarding the need for electoral reforms that safeguard the judicial system against political interference, thereby promoting confidence in the judiciary's impartiality and upholding the rule of law in Poland.
