These are also my thoughts.

Actually - as far as we’ve had a chance to experience Kaczynski’s presidency - I won’t be surprised if he vetoes every act passed by the new parliament - one by one.

For example - during the time of Poland’s new independence (since 1989) it has never happened, that the President declined acceptance of a motion of the National Council of Judiciary to nominate a new judge. A candidate for this position must undergo a long procedure (training, probation, evaluation by the superiors, by the Ministry of Justice and by the National Council of Judiciary). So - actually - so far the presidential nomination actually a symbol - just like nomination of the Prime Ministers or the members of government.

But not under President Kaczynski.
Recently he refused to accept about 20 nominations - without any explanations, arguments. Just “because”.
And I’m talking about judges of some low rank courts (like Amtsgericht in Germany) not anything like the Supreme Court or the Constitutional Tribunal.

So - if he didn’t object to do something like that - then imagine what the rule of PO is going to look like.

Anyway, congratulations. I´m relieved that the K-style didn´t find the appreciation of the voters, and that many more people went to the ballots. That´ll strengthen your democracy.
