In the weekly program “Woronicza 17” on TVP Info, Michał Rachoń received politicians who referred to the allegations against Radosław Sikorski, which were revealed in the Western media. In their view, the civic platform politician should be at the top of the list of people receiving extra-parliamentary income – more than half of them would not be included in the MEP’s asset declaration.
CBA to Tusk and Pawlak x-rays?
Donald Tusk’s civic platform always hides when important questions are asked. Donald Tusk hides when questions are asked about how Radosław Sikorski earned abroad. A Polish politician should serve the Republic, not deal with businesses, companies or advisory services. Donald Tusk hid the same way when questions were asked about bags of German money for KLD, he hid the same way when asked about a bag of Biedronka for PO
– said Janusz Kowalski.
Why has Donald Tusk hidden his income since 2015 and even handed it over to his wife? The media reports that he and his wife have up to PLN 40 million. Poles do not know how much he earned and what his income is. It can’t be that Donald Tusk wants to go to the Sejm, and then we find out he had some weird business relationships with foundations, corporations, we don’t know. Donald Tusk is required to make his asset statement public. He hides them, like Waldemar Pawlak, who works in “Polskie Młyny” and cannot answer a simple question – did his company buy Ukrainian grain at the expense of Polish peasants
said the secretary of state.
In my opinion, every politician who aspires to public office should make his financial statements public. Similarly, we should examine the financial flow between German foundations and Rafał Trzaskowski’s Polska Campus. It cannot be that Radosław Sikorski is engaged in de facto lobbying activities, and Rafał Trzaskowski is engaged in event activities rather than running the city. Getting huge money from German foundations, organizing some campuses to attack Poland, because Rafał Trzaskowski is the first politician to attack Poland and speak the German story – this shows opacity. Show off your assets! Show Tusk’s assets, show Campus Polska’s finances by Rafał Trzaskowski! That is why Solidarna Polska wants to introduce a law on transparency and financing of non-governmental organisations. Why is Donald Tusk hiding his belongings? Has Tusk made his living in recent years after making millions for 1825 days in Brussels from some business activity? We’ll find out in a moment that Donald Tusk also provided services. Have Donald Tusk come out and show his asset statement. And if not – to the CBA!
thundered a member of parliament from Solidarna Polska.
The left was outraged
Wanda Nowicka, a representative of the left, also referred to the issue of Radosław Sikorski’s opaque finances.
Left circles are very shocked by the situation with Mr. Radosław Sikorski. Taking money for advising a foreign government, even if it’s not against the law, is against the best of standards. And accepting money to advise governments in the Middle East, which are far from democratic and where various human rights violations take place, raises huge ethical questions. On the other hand, the transparency of Radosław Sikorski cannot be questioned as he presents it all in his statements.
– said the former deputy chairman of the Sejm.
I assume that Sikorski’s statement is transparent, and if not, the relevant institutions will confirm it. The most important are ethical and political standards – an active politician cannot advise another government, even if it were the United States government, I believe it should not be
she added.
OP sees no problem
When asked about the topic of corruption, which is off-putting to the Civic Coalition, MP Radosław Urbaniak initially did not want to talk about the matter, citing a case called “Willa Plus” by the opposition, but eventually decided to defend his party colleague.
For PO, the problem is TVP INFO and you know it well. Why didn’t we start the conversation with “Willi Plus”? Everyone on your twitter asks where is villa plus?
Urbaniak asked.
The problem for the PO is that the Russians have been pursuing Sikorski for a long time, I would say since Afghanistan and his stay during the Russo-Afghan War. Secondly, Radosław Sikorski’s statement clearly states that when he became a member of the European Parliament in 2019, he asked the internal bodies of the European Union if he could still earn these merits and received a positive answer. OLAF, the EU’s internal security and anti-corruption body, is very efficient. The Qatar scandal in the EP demonstrates the efficiency of EU monitoring bodies
he continued.
Paweł Sałek, adviser to President Andrzej Duda, drew attention to the hypocrisy of European structures, which for a very long time pursued cases of lack of the rule of law in Poland and other EU countries, noting any serious corruption in the very center of the European parliament.
This is a wider problem in general, because if we look at what has been discussed with regard to Poland, with regard to the current government, a few months ago, or even a few years ago, when Poland was criticized for allegedly rule of law , for that we have some dictatorial structures and issues like that, and transparency was demanded at the level of public life, today the scandals emerging in the EP show that we are dealing with a certain hypocrisy.
noted Pawel Salek.
The broader context of the scandal
I Qatargate – a scandal that has its reference and final in research centers or issues related to Members of the European Parliament who took money for some consultations from other countries, especially from the Middle East, puts the question of fairness on a very different way. This is a very serious problem, because enormous demands are placed on the Member States in terms of transparency and the EP often makes all kinds of resolutions on democracy in Poland and in other countries, while at the same time behaving in a surprising way. On the other hand, the issue of all recent scandals that have appeared in the EP – they need to be clarified at the level of law enforcement agencies – these are Belgian authorities or maybe even in a wider investigation.
– summarized the presidential adviser.
