The announcement marks the beginning of the candidate nomination process for members of Poland's National Judicial Council (KRS), which includes judges from various judicial branches. This decision was formally communicated through a bulletin signed by the Speaker of the Sejm, Włodzimierz Czarzasty. He indicated that this move was anticipated and outlined his plans to proceed with the nomination process, despite ongoing concerns about the legalities surrounding the existing law governing this process.

Czarzasty's statement reflects a sense of urgency as the term of the current KRS, predominantly composed of judges selected by parliament, is set to expire in three months. He emphasized that if he does not receive a signature from the president on the proposed KRS reform bill within two days, he will initiate the election procedure regardless of the legal framework's adequacy, citing the existing laws as the basis for his actions. This highlights the ongoing tensions in Poland regarding judicial reforms and the balance of power between branches of government.

The current situation around the KRS and its composition has become a focal point of disputes surrounding judicial independence and governance in Poland. Critics argue that the ruling party’s influence on judicial appointments undermines the integrity of the judiciary. As the nomination process commences, it raises significant questions about the future of Poland’s judicial system and the implications for democracy, rule of law, and the separation of powers within the country.
