Karol Nawrocki's recent veto of the government’s KRS reform has sparked significant reactions across the political spectrum in Poland, as it met the expectations of both the patriotic and democratic factions. The veto indicates a strong push from key judicial figures, including Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek and leading judges from major judicial associations, who anticipated the president's approval of legislation deemed critical to the PiS regime's influence over the Polish judiciary. The ongoing active campaign led by certain judges and the Ministry of Justice advocating for KRS primaries further underscores this expectation.

At the core of the controversy is a proposal for an innovative plan B, suggesting that fifteen candidates for the judicial members of the KRS be selected through a unique primary process among judges throughout Poland, with the Sejm simply voting to confirm the judges' choices. This initiative reflects a growing movement among judges to assert their influence over the selection process and question the implications of executive control over the judiciary.

However, the ambitious plan has been deemed precarious by observers, raising concerns about its feasibility and the potential backlash that could arise. Given the current political climate and the existing tensions between the judiciary and the government, the success of such a plan remains uncertain, highlighting the broader struggle for judicial independence in Poland.
