A FUNDAMENTAL RESET OF THE STATE, UNCOMPROMISING ACCOUNTABILITY AND AN END TO THE IMPUNITY OF THE RULING CASTE
Author: Mieczysław Dzikowski (Editor-in-Chief of GAZETA ALGOOMNI)
Thirty-seven years of systemic transformation in Poland have produced a pathological system in which power has become a tool for political parties to enrich themselves with impunity, while the citizen has been reduced to the role of a powerless taxpayer. The rule of law cannot exist when a politician, judge, prosecutor or official bears no financial or criminal liability whatsoever for flagrant violations of the Constitution, corruption, neglect of duty and errors that ruin millions of people. At the same time, the mechanism for staffing State Treasury companies and public institutions has created a parasitic oligarchic network in which state and local-government posts are treated as party sinecures.
Today's edition presents an expanded, uncompromising manifesto for the repair of the Republic: THE 25 PILLARS OF ALGOOMNI. These are not demands for cosmetic changes – this is a comprehensive project for a hard constitutional reset. Introducing full personal financial, civil and criminal liability for all public officials, judges and prosecutors, a definitive ban on combining political office with seats in strategic companies, the abolition of immunities, a two-term limit, mandatory toxicology tests and transparency of digital surveillance is the only way to restore sovereignty to citizens and defend Poland against authoritarianism.
THE 25 PILLARS OF ALGOOMNI
FUNDAMENTAL CONDITIONS FOR THE RULE OF LAW, DEMOCRACY, EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW AND CIVIC SOVEREIGNTY

THE SANCTITY OF EVERY VOTE
Every vote cast is the supreme, direct and inviolable mandate of the sovereign people in the state. No digital algorithm, no politicised electoral commission and no backroom party arrangement has the right to annul, falsify, distort or ignore the will of the citizens. Transparency, physical verifiability and public scrutiny of the electoral process at every stage are the inviolable foundation of the Republic's existence.
A RECOUNT OF THE VOTES AND AN INSPECTION OF THE 2025 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION
The absolute necessity of a comprehensive, formal inspection and a new, 100% open and publicly broadcast recount of all ballot papers from the 2025 presidential election. The assumption of the Office of the President of the Republic of Poland under the shadow of procedural machinations, with the oversight bodies paralysed and the authorities of the day shockingly passive, constituted a breach of the constitutional order that requires the material truth to be fully established.
HOLDING PIS TO ACCOUNT – AN UNCOMPROMISING "ZERO OPTION"
Full, uncompromising criminal, constitutional and financial liability for the systematic destruction of the legal order, the dismantling of the separation of powers and the unlawful transfers of public funds during the years of PiS rule. A rejection of any rotten compromises, political deals or preferential treatment – every scandal, embezzlement and act of lawlessness must be tried to the very bottom.
HOLDING THE CURRENT GOVERNMENT TO ACCOUNT FOR ITS NEGLECT AND FAILURE TO SETTLE ACCOUNTS
A government that received a democratic mandate to restore the rule of law, yet in the name of conformism, political calculation and a quiet life chose procrastination and the sin of omission, must bear unequivocal political responsibility. The absence of a hard reckoning will take its revenge at the ballot box and open the way to a constitutional relapse of anti-democratic forces.
THE COMPLETE ABOLITION OF IMMUNITIES
The definitive abolition of parliamentary, judicial, prosecutorial and official immunities. All citizens without exception must be 100% equal before the law and answer to the same ordinary courts. The institution of immunity has been completely perverted, becoming a pathological shield protecting corruption, ordinary crime, abuse of power and the impunity of the elites.
A MANDATORY TWO-TERM LIMIT IN ALL BODIES
The introduction of a hard limit of no more than two terms (counted over a lifetime) for MPs, senators, city mayors, town mayors, village heads and the heads of state agencies and central offices. An end to a professional caste of politicians welded to their seats for decades and to the creation of entrenched bureaucratic clans feeding off citizens' property.
MANDATORY TOXICOLOGY TESTS FOR THOSE IN THE HIGHEST OFFICES
Mandatory, independent and random laboratory tests (blood, urine, hair) carried out every 3 months for the President of the Republic, the Prime Minister, ministers, deputy ministers, MPs, senators and the heads of state institutions. Refusal to undergo testing or a positive result will result in immediate and automatic dismissal from office. Those who decide on the security and fate of the nation must be fully of sound mind, responsible and free from chemical dependency.
A CITIZENS' CONSTITUTION WITH FIXED DEADLINES
The new Basic Law must be written directly by citizens and independent experts, not by politicians and law firms concerned with their own impunity. The absolute elimination of discretionary, elastic wording such as "without delay" or "within a reasonable time" and its replacement with precise calendar days, on pain of the automatic loss of office by an official or judge who exceeds them.
STRICT ORDER OF RECEIPT IN COURTS AND OFFICES
A statutory, absolute requirement to process and examine cases strictly according to the date, hour and minute of their receipt by courts, prosecutors' offices and public administration offices. A final end to the "freezers" for cases inconvenient to those in power, political favouritism in court calendars, the selection of cases at the behest of networks and the deliberate protraction of proceedings until they become time-barred.
FULL DISCLOSURE OF THE LIST OF THOSE ILLEGALLY SURVEILLED WITH DIGITAL SYSTEMS
The immediate publication of a full, open and complete register of all persons surveilled with cyberweapons (Pegasus, Hermes, Predator, Feng and related tools). Society and public figures have an inalienable right to know who was wiretapped, blackmailed, manipulated and destroyed through covert operations while strategic state and economic decisions were being taken.
FULL CRIMINAL, CIVIL AND FINANCIAL LIABILITY OF OFFICIALS, JUDGES AND PROSECUTORS
The introduction of full, personal criminal, civil and financial liability (with all present and future private assets) for the president, prime ministers, ministers, MPs, senators, village heads, mayors, councillors, state officials and, without exception, judges and prosecutors for knowingly violating the Constitution, corruption, fabricating evidence, issuing unlawful decisions and judgments, flagrant neglect of duty and errors causing losses to the State Treasury or harm to citizens. An end to hiding with impunity behind a judge's robe, an immunity or an office stamp – for lawlessness and damage, those in power, judges and prosecutors must pay out of their own pockets and answer criminally like any other citizen.
A TOTAL BAN ON COMBINING OFFICES AND A BAN ON SITTING ON THE BOARDS OF STATE TREASURY COMPANIES
A radical, absolute ban on sitting on the management boards, supervisory boards and advisory bodies of State Treasury companies, municipal companies and government agencies for ministers, deputy ministers, senior state and local-government officials, MPs, senators, village heads, mayors, city mayors and councillors (with a 5-year cooling-off period after leaving office). A final severing of the pathology of party cronyism, nepotism and the milking of state assets by political appointees.
AN ABSOLUTE BAN ON SWITCHING PARLIAMENTARY CLUBS AND COUNCIL GROUPS (A BAN ON POLITICAL TOURISM)
The mandate of an MP, senator or councillor is bound to the will of the voters as expressed on the electoral committee's list. Leaving a club, defecting to another grouping or political corruption involving a mandate will result in the automatic expiry of the mandate and its transfer to the next person on the electoral list. An end to trading in citizens' votes in parliament and in local government.
MANDATORY ATTENDANCE AT VOTES AND SITTINGS ON PAIN OF LOSING ONE'S MANDATE
The work of a parliamentarian or councillor is a hard official duty owed to the sovereign people. Unexcused absence from sittings of the Sejm, the Senate, committees or key votes exceeding 10% in any quarter will result in the automatic loss of the mandate by operation of law, without the right to severance pay or a parliamentary pension.
FULL TRANSPARENCY OF EXPENDITURE: ALLOWANCES, MILEAGE AND OFFICES SETTLED EXCLUSIVELY BY PAYMENT CARD
A total ban on cash, lump-sum and advance settlements in parliamentary and local-government activity. All office expenses, expert reports, hotels, business trips and mileage must be paid exclusively with a personal official card linked to a public online register of expenditure available to every citizen in real time. Every attempt to fraudulently claim mileage means an immediate referral to the prosecutor.
AN END TO "SACRED COWS": THE SAME LAW FOR POLITICIANS, JUDGES, PROSECUTORS, THE SERVICES AND JOURNALISTS
Equal law for all without caste privileges. The abolition of separate procedures, immunities, secret disciplinary courts and networks protecting politicians, prosecutors, judges, special-service officers and the journalists connected to them. Every crime, act of obstruction, fabrication of operational material or paid media protection will be tried in open proceedings before a jury.
SYSTEMIC PROTECTION AND STRICT COUNTER-INTELLIGENCE OVERSIGHT OF FORMER SPECIAL-SERVICE OFFICERS
Special-service officers (AW, ABW, SKW, SWW, CBA) with knowledge of state secrets cannot be abandoned on the open market as easy prey for foreign intelligence services and criminal groups. The introduction of a 10-year ban on working for foreign entities and in sensitive sectors (cryptocurrencies, finance, gambling), combined with fair state remuneration for analytical work and permanent counter-intelligence protection.
TOTAL TRANSPARENCY AND A BLOCK ON INFILTRATION OF THE LEGISLATIVE PROCESS
Every draft law, regulation and amendment must have a public, digital register of its authors by first name and surname, together with a lobbying footprint. An absolute ban on laws being written by outside law firms and lobbyists linked to foreign capital. Any attempt to block anti-corruption and anti-money-laundering provisions to be treated as diplomatic treason.
SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE AND AN END TO FUNDING RELIGIOUS STRUCTURES FROM THE BUDGET
The immediate abolition of the Church Fund, taxation of the income of religious associations under the general rules and an absolute ban on handing over State Treasury and local-government property for next to nothing. Religious associations may be financed only through voluntary tax allocations by the faithful (a voluntary church tax).
A CITIZENS' VETO AND A BINDING REFERENDUM WITHOUT A TURNOUT THRESHOLD
Restoring real power to the sovereign people: a motion backed by 500,000 citizens' signatures obliges the Sejm to call a nationwide referendum whose result is absolutely binding on the state authorities, with no possibility of applying a turnout threshold. The executive and legislative branches are prohibited from overriding the will of the nation expressed in a referendum.
DIGITAL TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY: ONLY REAL IDENTITIES IN THE PUBLIC SPHERE AND ON THE INTERNET
A requirement for identity verification and the use of real personal details when registering, logging in, publishing articles, running newspapers and operating social-media and app accounts. An end to troll farms, bots, fake identities and organised disinformation – every participant in public debate and on digital platforms must bear full, personal legal responsibility for the content they publish.
TOTAL TRANSPARENCY OF SERVICE: BODY-WORN CAMERAS FOR OFFICIALS AND UNIFORMED SERVICES
An absolute obligation to make audiovisual recordings of all official acts performed by state officials, customs officers, police officers and officers of all uniformed and special services using permanently active body-worn cameras. The recording constitutes hard evidence in disciplinary and criminal proceedings, eliminating violence, abuse of power, extortion and the fabrication of charges.
DIRECT ELECTION AND RECALL OF JUDGES, PROSECUTORS AND MINISTERS
The introduction of universal, direct civic elections and a mechanism allowing the sovereign people to recall judges, prosecutors, senior officials, ministers and the Prime Minister of the Republic of Poland. The definitive elimination of the party-political appointments key, nepotism and corrupt backroom promotions in favour of direct verification and a mandate of trust from citizens.
COMPLETE DECLASSIFICATION OF THE ARCHIVES: OPENING THE IPN FILES AND THOSE OF THE COMMUNIST-ERA SERVICES
The immediate, one-hundred-per-cent opening and full publication of all archival material, personal and operational files of the IPN (Institute of National Remembrance) and the communist special services (SB, WSW, the Second Directorate of the General Staff). The abolition of the so-called restricted collections, in order to definitively cut off the possibility of blackmail, manipulation of the political scene, the building of intelligence "hooks" and the concealment of decision-makers' pasts.
A PUBLIC LIST OF ILLEGAL SECRET COLLABORATORS IN PROFESSIONS OF PUBLIC TRUST
The absolute publication of a complete register of persons practising professions of public trust (judges, prosecutors, doctors, advocates, legal advisers, journalists) who were illegally recruited by or entered into covert cooperation with the special services, including the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau (CBA). Secret entanglement within the structures of the justice system, the media and healthcare poses a direct threat to the rule of law and civil liberties.
