Government spokesman Piotr Müller said on TVN24 that PiS’s candidate for deputy chairman of the Sejm will be Elżbieta Witek. As the politician emphasized, there is no other scenario.
On Monday at noon, the 10th term Sejm will meet for its opening session, during which new members of parliament will be sworn in and the Speaker of the House of Representatives and alternate speakers will be elected. President Andrzej Duda will participate in the meeting.
The candidates for deputy marshals of the Sejm for the tenth term are the current deputy marshal of the Sejm Piotr Zgorzelski (PSL), co-chairman of the Confederation Krzysztof Bosak and co-chairman of the New Left Włodzimierz Czarzasty.
SEE THE DETAILS: Piotr Zgorzelski, Krzysztof Bosak and Włodzimierz Czarzasty will be candidates for deputy chairmen of the Sejm. Will PiS keep an eye on Elżbieta Witek?
Witek is a candidate for deputy chairman of the Sejm
Government spokesman Piotr Müller said this this morning on TVN24 PiS’s candidate for deputy chairman of the Sejm will be Elżbieta Witek, the current chairman of the chamber.
Such a scenario is planned for today’s session of the Sejm, I hope the Sejm will accept this candidacy
said Müller.
Asked whether the new parliamentary majority, if it asks for another candidate, will nominate someone else, he replied that “they do not foresee such a scenario for the time being”.
Such an alternative is not discussed at all in our parliamentary group. We report Madam Marshal Witek
– Müller emphasized.
The current opposition does not want Witek
Some politicians from the current opposition criticize Witek’s candidacy for the Presidium of the Sejm.
I cannot imagine that there would be people in the Presidium of the Sejm who would violate the constitution
– PO Secretary General Marcin Kierwiński said this on Sunday on Polsat News.
Personally, I will not vote for Mrs Elżbieta Witek because she is a disgraced person, she is someone who has shamefully destroyed parliamentarism in Poland and destroyed debate in parliament.
– added.
Katarzyna Kotula (left wing) also announced that she would not raise her hand – not even as deputy head of the Committee on Rules, Immunities and Substitutions – in support of Witek’s candidacy.
I know the rules of the Sejm very well and the Marshal (Witek) has repeatedly violated these rules, violated the constitution and democracy.
– she assessed.
