The new owner of the much neglected fourteenthcentury castle in Morąg commenced a gradual restoration of the whole building. Repair and construction conducted in 2002 were preceded by a search for murals in the castle interiors. All the interiors were examined by means of uncovering methods applying the cross-strip system as well as a non-invasive method based on solvents. Both investigations and earlier quests led to the discovery of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century vaults richly decorated with ornamental polychrome and figurai motifs in the tondos. The researchers also uncovered fragments of murals in ground-floor interiors underneath numerous layers of plaster and lime whitening. Finally, the author describes a series of examinations of the plaster and brick walls.

According to the Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters, adopted by the Venice Commission, the fundamental elements of electoral law should be closed to amendment less than one year before an election or be written in the constitution or at a level higher than ordinary law. Unfortunately the Constitution of the Republic of Poland and Electoral Code do not protect the stability of the law to a suffi cient extent. Lack of restrictions caused in recent years the state of the affairs, where the electoral law have been frequently modifi ed just before the elections, mainly because of the particular interests of ruling party. However, in 2006 the Constitutional Tribunal referred positively to the suggestions of the Venice Commission and introduce to the legal system the principle of stability of electoral law, related to democratic rule of law. From this moment the essential elements of the electo ral law must be adopted at least six months before the next election, understood not only as the act of voting, but as a whole the activities covered by the electoral calendar. This article tries to answer the question: how we should understood the term “fundamental elements of the electoral law” and how to calculate the six months period, during which any change of electoral law are prohibit. It will be taken into consideration also critical comments and questions that have emerged during the adjudicate the conformity of statutes by the judges of the Constitutional Tribunal.

Artykuł stara się ukazać najbardziej znaczące i komentowane zganienia ostatnich lat omawiane przez prawników, politologów oraz dziennikarzy, dotyczące finansowania partii politycznych. Obecnie walka pomiędzy ugrupowaniami przekształca się w rywalizację, której koszty stale rosną, osiągając niekiedy poziom przekraczający ustawowe limity wydatków. Funkcjonowanie luk prawnych w obowiązujących przepisach sprawia, iż politycy starają się korzystać z różnorodnych form wsparcia. Alternatywne metody finansowania partii to techniki zgodne z literą obowiązującego prawa, jednakże sprzeczne z zakładanym ratio legis ustaw. Wymienione w artykule praktyki wspierania ugrupowań z jednej strony są gwarantowane przez zasadę wolności słowa czy wolności zrzeszania się. Z drugiej jednak strony, techniki te powodują naginanie konstytucyjnej zasady jawności finansowania partii politycznych.

Today a struggle between political parties transforms into contest where costs are still increasing, reaching levels exceeding the statutory limits on spending. Functioning of the loopholes in the current legislation makes the politicians try using various forms of financial support. Alternative methods of party financing techniques are consistent with the letter of the law, but unfortunately they are contrary to the assumed ratio legis. Practices mentioned in this article about supporting parties are guaranteed on the one hand by the principle of freedom of speech or freedom of association. But on the other hand, these techniques cause the strain of the constitutional principle of transparency of political party funding.

Krosno, near Orneta, is located on a meander of the Drwęca Warmińska river. Since the 16th century, it has been known as a pilgrimage site, owing to the presence of a shrine which was built in the place where a small stone figure presenting the Holy Mother with the Child was found in the river. The shrine building was completed in 1777., although decoration works were later performed at the beginning of the 20th century by the Italian artist Zanetti of Königsberg and Ferdinand Busch of Berlin. Currently, the entire layout requires urgent restoration work. The immediate intervention of a conservator is particularly necessary for the interior of the shrine where the painted decorations on the vault are endangered. The condition of the wall-painting in the church is disastrous. As a result of the total degradation of the organic binder, the entire surface of the wall paintings is powdered. In 2007, the conservation of one of the scenes in the wall painting was undertaken by Agnieszka Markowska, a student of the Faculty of Conservation and Restoration of Works of Art of the Academy of Fint1 Arts in Warsaw. This task constituted the practical part of her master’s thesis. The works consisted in the requisite technical and technological treatments and the reconstruction of all the missing parts of the paint layer. In the course of the conservation works thus carried out, the student performed a series of typical treatments, such as the disinfection, desalination and cleaning of the painting surface, as well as the consolidation and supplementation of the missing parts of the base. However, the most difficult task was to strengthen and reconstruct the paint layer. A question hangs over the future of the entire pardon complex. Such a large building requires huge financial commitment. Apart from repair works on th<; convictus of the priestly congregation and galleries, an exhaustive restoration of the church is required. For such extensive works, comprehensive and scheduled activities are normally required. It is necessary to develop a uniform and cohesive conception, together with a sweeping conservation and arrangement design encompassing the interior and furnishings in their entirety.
