“As you can see, the parliamentary majority, led by the chairman, does not want to know the position of parliament. On the other hand, he is probably afraid that this position could be inconsistent,” Kazimierz Smoliński, PiS MP, tells wPolityce.pl about the need to adopt a parliamentary resolution expressing his opposition to changes in the treaties.
The parliamentarian also commented on the lack of vote on the resolution during today’s Sejm session, although a debate on the issue will take place tomorrow in the European Parliament.
This is another PO lie that they are against change. This is a party of cheaters. They lied to the Poles about program changes because they knew they wouldn’t be able to implement them. It is an eyewash. Tusk could even vote for federalization
– says Kazimierz Smoliński.
In my opinion this is the wrong behavior of Mr. Marshal. This is a very serious matter, because tomorrow the European Parliament will debate treaty changes. The Polish state should take a stand, and a resolution of the Sejm would be a good way. As you can see, the parliamentary majority, led by the chairman, does not want to know the position of parliament. On the other hand, he probably fears that this position might be inconsistent
– explains the PiS-MP.
Lack of party discipline?
Could there be iron discipline in this regard? Some people, taking into account the position of the opposition, might think that they cannot do anything against the European Union, and even lie directly that we want to take Poland out of the EU.
– added.
And we just don’t want changes that go too far without any debate. There is already a visible change in Eurocrats’ approach to this issue. Previously, there was a very loud debate about federalization and the introduction of an EU constitution. It didn’t work then, so now they’re going to tell a silent story and calm the citizens’ vigilance
– he said.
Parliament then 12 resumed the first session of the new term, which was suspended last week. MPs will choose the composition of the parliamentary committees, including: European Union affairs, ethics, secret services and members of the State Tribunal.
A conference of politicians in the field of Law and Justice was also held in the Sejm, which informed about the submission to the Marshal’s staff of a draft resolution committing the Council of Ministers to oppose changes to the EU treaties would undermine Polish sovereignty.
