The priority of the new government? Restoration of the rule of law and social dialogue in Poland: BCC

The BCC has long emphasized the need to improve the legislative process and quickly return to good practices based on respect for all sides of the discussion, as well as restoring the role of the Social Dialogue Council.

"The new government will face the serious task of repairing the damage caused and ensuring the proper functioning of the justice system. Not only legislation but also the implementation of laws require far-reaching reforms. Streamlining the processes of legislation and law enforcement will have a positive impact on all other sectors of the economy, leading to their growth and development. The rebuilding of our position must begin with the restoration of the judges' position in the judiciary and the healing of key institutions such as the Constitutional Tribunal and the Supreme Court. The next step must be the depoliticization of the prosecution and removing the Minister of Justice's control over it," Ryszard Kalisz, Minister of Economic Law in the Shadow Cabinet of the BCC, said.

To halt further degradation of the justice system and the legislative process, it is necessary to restore the fundamental principles of the rule of law, such as the restitution of judges' positions in the judiciary, the healing of key institutions of the legal system such as the Constitutional Tribunal and the Supreme Court, and to begin respecting high standards of social dialogue and consultations in the process of economic lawmaking, state BCC experts.
