— Sikorski and 40 thousand. euros. Deputy Head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs: It is worth calling the MEP to clarify this information. “This Thing Didn’t Come Out of Nowhere”
An article published by the Brussels-based Politico portal recalled that PO member Radosław Sikorski earned PLN 40,000. euros per month “for unspecified ‘consultations’”.

Bochenek recalled that the head of the parliamentary committee on EU affairs, Kacper Płażyński (PiS), announced the convening of a special committee meeting in January in connection with irregularities that had recently occurred in the European Parliament. PiS spokesman added that MPs will also talk about Sikorski at this meeting.
We will certainly discuss this subject in the context of, for example, what is happening in the European Parliament, because it is starting to form one big picture of this situation and these unclear flows of money that we are dealing with in the European Parliament
said Bochenek.
He also noted that Radosław Sikorski listed “income from foreign exchange” in his asset declaration.
However, he never referred to which sources, for which consultations, 800,000. euros appeared on his account
said Bochenek.
He added that organizations such as Transparency International also have “certain reservations and doubts” about practices in the EP.
Therefore, we believe that Radosław Sikorski should refer to this issue, he should explain to citizens where the money in his account comes from, so that there is no doubt
said Bochenek.

Beautification: The CBA must verify Sikorski’s asset statements
I will ask the CBA to investigate all asset declarations of PO member Radosław Sikorski since 2019, in connection with reports from the Politico portal, Jacek Dekora (Solidarna Polska), a member of the PiS club, informed.
An article published by the Brussels-based Politico portal recalled that PO member Radosław Sikorski earned PLN 40,000. euros per month “for indefinite +consultations+”. The text describes a number of controversial practices by MEPs, which, according to the authors, eventually resulted in a scandal, namely the arrest of the Vice-President of the European Parliament, Eva Kaila.
Solidarna Polska spokesperson and Deputy Minister of Climate and Environment Jacek Dekora referred to this information during a press conference on Wednesday.
For the transparency of public life, it is reasonable that Sikorski immediately explains why he is asking for this extra money and who is behind these funds that Politico writes about
Ornament said. He added that “the main thing is that the Polish services, ie the CBA, verify it.”
Therefore – as he said – he is filing a notification with the CBA to verify all annual accounts of MEP Sikorski since he has been in office, “to examine the sources of income and the veracity of the financial statements”.
I hope that the Central Anti-Corruption Office will positively review this application and verify all income and asset declarations of Radosław Sikorski from 2019
Ornament said.
I also appeal to Radosław Sikorski to explain why he charges money and who he consults. This is not a private person, this is not someone who can keep secrets about things like an additional source of income
said the SP politician. All the more – he added – there is a scandal in the background of the Vice-President of the European Parliament accused of corruption.
