On the State and Results of the Discourse Concerning the Protection of the Rule of Law in Poland

Summary/Abstract: For several years lively discussions have been taking place in Poland related to the rule of law. In the author’s point of view, this discussion is breaking out of the scope of proper methodology and cannot – in principle – bring expected results. In the course of a discussion between the reliable position, which is highly specialized and thus using arguments not understood by many, with a propaganda message , the latter usually wins, however, for the short term. As the author states, this discussion cannot be discontinued and must be conducted, especially when the practical aspects of the problem are considered, and should be aimed at dealing with strictly legal issues while presenting not only the opinion on facts but facts themselves. The author presents cases where the participants of the discussion depart from the truth and use simplified argumentation that lacks any sense. He underlines the problem of journalists’ reliability related to the way the discussion is conducted. He emphasizes that their duty is to be objective and professionally prepared, and to study the issue more deeply in order to separate truth from falsehood.
