Polish media on October 3 focused on the escalating conflict surrounding judicial appointments. Early reports discussed concerns about the system of judicial selection, with warnings against tampering with independence (wPolityce). By midday, President Nawrocki's role in pardons was questioned (Radio ZET), and a new NIK president halted an IPN audit from Nawrocki's tenure (Rzeczpospolita). In the afternoon, President Nawrocki strongly criticized Żurek's decision to end the drawing of judges, calling it an "ostentatious act of lawlessness" (wPolityce, Polsat News). The day concluded with Żurek declaring he would not back down, setting the stage for a direct confrontation with the president (Do Rzeczy).
