I will consider running for the Sejm in the United Right formula after the adoption of our last two laws, i.e. establishing the institution of Justices of the Peace and lowering the turnout threshold in local referenda, Paweł Kukiz, the leader of Kukiz’15 , said PAP.
During the session of the Sejm, which will last until Thursday, a bill on local referenda, one of the points of program cooperation between Kukiz’15 and Law and Justice, can be passed. The project involves lowering the turnout threshold from 30 to 15 percent.
End of the subcommittee’s work
The subcommittee, which is working on a bill to introduce justices of the peace, another important solution for the community of Paweł Kukiz, has to complete its work and will be continued by the parliamentary committee on justice and human rights.
Kukiz referred to the progress in the legislative process on these projects in an interview with PAP. “If the laws on local referenda and justices of the peace are passed, he would consider a new nomination for the Sejm in the United Right format,” the MP announced.
As he stressed, “there is no other option that implements the 2004 Civic Platform postulates that I currently carry.”
There has been such a paradox that PiS captures pro-citizen demands of the PO from 2004, which it forgot
noted the politician.
They said in 2004 they had a package of anti-corruption laws, and it turned out they had nothing and with our anti-corruption law they abstained
Kuki noticed.
Conversations with Jarosław Kaczyński
He admitted that in a conversation with PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński about participation in the elections, he would push for the program to include an amendment of the electoral law to a mixed model, an anti-partisan bill and the abolition of deputies’ immunities and to include senators. .
The first reading of the draft on Justices of the Peace, developed in the Chancellery of the President, took place in the Sejm in December 2021. Subsequently, the draft was sent to the Sejm Committee and Subcommittee. The introduction of the Institute of Justices of the Peace is one of Kukiz’15’s most important program proposals.
The Courts and Justices of the Peace initiative creates such courts as a new category within the ordinary judiciary. They would deal with the simplest of cases and would be tried by judges elected to six-year terms by universal suffrage.
As Kukiz emphasized repeatedly in an interview with PAP, thanks to the agreement concluded in 2021 between his formation and Jarosław Kaczyński’s party, it was possible, among other things, to implement the anti-corruption law, on medical hemp and fiber hemp, on direct sales to farmers or on the equalization of benefits for carers of disabled people.
