We would like to table an amendment to the resolution on the establishment of a commission of inquiry to investigate the operational and reconnaissance activities undertaken in recent years; If it has to be transparent, let’s create a transparent commission that doesn’t just cover the last eight years; This will be a test of the PO’s credibility, United Right MPs said in the Sejm.
Yesterday, debates were held on draft resolutions on the creation of investigative committees for Pegasus, for envelope elections and for the so-called visa scandal. The projects were forwarded to the Legislative Commission for further work.
Reliability test
The Sejm also considered a draft resolution on the establishment of an investigative committee to investigate, among other things, the legality, regularity and purpose of the operational and reconnaissance activities undertaken: use of Pegasus software by members of the Council of Ministers, special services, the police, tax control authorities and customs and tax control authorities in the period from November 16, 2015 to November 20, 2023.
According to MPs from the United Right, this period “should be extended”, they announced during a press conference.
We would like to present the amendment that we would like to table to the resolution on the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry to investigate various types of operational and reconnaissance activities undertaken in recent years.
– PiS spokesperson Rafał Bochenek said this during a press conference.
As he noted, when submitting its draft resolution, the Civic Platform decided to “introduce a certain time limit”, “it was intended that the subject of the deliberations and investigation of the Commission of Inquiry would be the years from November 16, 2015 to November 2015. From January 20, 2023, we believe that this period should be extended.”
As Bochenek added: “This will be a test for the PO of their credibility, whether they really want to turn the issue regarding the use of different types of activities by the services into a political event, or whether they simply want to explain the problems. ” issue in depth.”
If we want to be transparent, let’s create a transparent commission covering not only the last eight years, but also the years leading up to the time when the United Right was in power in Poland, i.e. the time when PO and PSL were in power goods.
– emphasized PiS MP Michał Wójcik.
The issue of journalists
As Wójcik argued, “two important threads emerged.” He pointed out that “the first issue involved journalists.” He explained that it was about “the allegation of years of surveillance of journalists – it was a very media-related case, more than fifty names appeared.”
We want to know if this is true, who decided on such an inspection, whether data was actually collected, for example invoices, and why. To find out, this committee must also investigate the period during which PO and PSL were in power.
– he explained.
The second thread – as Wójcik noted – is the issue of the system that “should have been bought by the CBA during the PO-PSL government.”
A few years ago this was also a media topic, but it was not particularly addressed by the media”, “which is strange, because it was a system (…) which means that if the services have it, they microphones through telephones, listen to the surroundings, view them by activating cameras (…) write down the accusations against the United Right from the mouths of prominent representatives of our contemporary opponents
- he said.
As the United Right camp, the PiS camp, we have absolutely nothing to hide. We are ready for a substantive conversation, a good, substantive debate with arguments, but we would like public opinion to have the opportunity to compare what it looked like during our regime and what it looked like during the PO government.
– added Bochenek.
