Stanisław Gawłowski, accused of committing seven crimes (including corruption), is in the Senate, Tomasz Grodzki, who is accused of taking bribes and money laundering, is back in the Upper House of Parliament, Roman Giertych wants not appear before the public prosecutor (and this is no longer the prosecutor “Ziobrystowski”!) and the court, answer questions about the disposal and appropriation of a total of about PLN 92 million from the development company Polnord – this means that he is in the Sejm will sit.
A shopkeeper who does not provide a receipt can be fined PLN 1,800, someone who drives through a red light can be fined more than PLN 1,000 – after all, the allowances for Messrs. Grodzki, Gawłowski and Giertych have to be paid somehow . If an average citizen is suspected of theft or corruption, there is no life – interrogations, investigations and a tarnished reputation, but if Civic Platform politics is suspected, a political career is just beginning! They will even give you a parliamentary mandate to relieve the stress before you are detained or arrested. But thanks to the PO party card you can also get out of prison – after all, Włodzimierz Karpiński is going from prison to Brussels.
It also sounds cynical, also because of the name: the Civic Platform is primarily bourgeois for its members, just as workers in the past could drink champagne, but only through the mouths of their PZPR representatives.
Polish law is like a spider’s web – an old Polish saying goes: a fart will break through, a skinny person will be imprisoned – was the punchline. It’s a shame that even after three hundred years such “farts” are still flying around in public life, and not only does it bother the party that pursues the slogan of renewal of democracy and the Polish state, but it just seems to be the essence of this party.
