Axiology of selected addresses issued in course of control on public finances by Polish Ombudsman of seventh term

Abstract

The institution of the Commissioner for Human Rights plays a key role in the control of lawmaking and application of law in Poland. The task that the Commissioner for Human Rights of the 7th term faces is all the more difficult because, due to the constitutional crisis, his possibilities to submit legal acts for abstract control in the Constitutional Tribunal have been limited in practice. The general speeches of the Commissioner for Human Rights (especially those addressed to executive bodies) often do not meet with adequate analysis, and some of them remain without an echo due to the temperature of the political dispute. The issue of the axiology of the Polish ombudsman’s speeches in the field of public finance is important because his activity in matters concerning the protection of freedom and human and civil rights is based not only on control of whether the law has been violated, but also on the control of observance of the principles of coexistence and social justice in the activity of public bodies
