Nothing. A thousand or two thousand leftards are protesting against our centrist government.
>What does the bill actually do that soros had to send protesters out?
It states that instead of a kind of cooptation our main judges must be chosen by the parliament. Up to this point the judges were uncontrolled, so they were more and more corrupted. Now we will have some mechanism of control. Actually this mechanism is not radical enough, in my opinion, but it's still better than nothing.

How did they get in office in the first place if they weren't chosen by the parliament?

>>134359946
Because of the deal that our famous "hero" Lech Walesa made with the commies to make them step down.

>>134361073
So who chose them before this bill though? Are these the same jerks that have been there since the 80s?

>>134361636
The parliament majority.

Poland makes their government more like Germany's and many other EU countries which makes them authoritarian

So nothing changed

>>134362346
I don't know where all this fuss come from.

>>134362578
Like, they designated their own replacements? Did anyone else have to approve of that or did they just take over?

>Are these the same jerks that have been there since the 80s?
mostly yes or people elected by those jerks.
>who elects judges in general
other judges located in the body named KRS, that doesn't change.
>who elects members of KRS
so far KRS had chosen two candidates from judges outside of KRS, one of which was then appointed by president to become a member. that closed system coupled with the fact that our first three presidents were in order: communist general, commie sniff and a former commie, causes the total mess that is polish judiciary. judges are so out of touch that they openly declare themselves "extraordinary caste of people"
now it'll simply be done by parliament vote. 3/5 majority is required.

FYI for others: Wałęsa was a commie spy sent to decrease the shock and retain high rank jobs for commies.

>>134362032
yes and no.
KRS is overcomplicated for what it is.
It comprises of 25 members.
Change only affects 15 of them. They must be elected from judges, but constitution doesn't specify HOW they are elected.
6 were already chosen by parliament. (4 by lower house, 2 by upper house),
The remainder 4 are: Minister of Justice, representative from president, Head of Supreme Court and Head of Supreme Administrative Court
