– The door is closed! The Sejm dismissed members of the committee for investigating Russian influence. ‘Champagne corks will pop in the Kremlin today’
— Prof. Cenckiewicz: I would like this committee to continue, even in a different composition. Whatever the case, I’ll keep looking into it
– ONLY HERE. The opposition wants personnel changes in the committee to investigate Russian influence. Ast: These are strange customs, but it is their wolf law
Harsh words
I am a big supporter of investigating how taxpayers’ money was spent, because the circus that PiS sponsored was financed with citizens’ money. It’s not like this pseudo-commission was free, but there were generous compensations in the first place. Secondly, I hope that together we will decide to liquidate this committee
– Budka told journalists in the Sejm.
He pointed out that “this is primarily a matter of changes in the law, and we know very well that President Andrzej Duda in this matter is a man who changes his mind on average every few days, so maybe if there is a new government, this majority will be able to pass all these formalities, is very solid, which was visible in today’s votes, I will recommend the liquidation of this fictitious committee.
But – when and in what formula? It is practically non-existent, because let us remind you that today this committee has lost its raison d’être because we have dismissed all its members. Fortunately, from December 12, there will be a new majority government in Poland and the Polish services will be able to reliably explain, with the right mechanisms, especially what has happened in the energy sector over the past eight years; For example, the government of first Beata Szydło and then Mateusz Morawiecki made the Polish energy sector dependent on coal from the East. It will be necessary to explain all these issues, for example, the activities of Antoni Macierewicz in the Polish army and the dismissal of the most valuable officers with NATO certificates. It will be necessary to explain the role of Mateusz Morawiecki as president of the commercial bank that advised the Russian oligarch and then tried to take over the strategic Azoty Group.
– said Budka.
He ruled that “all this requires reliable activity of the services, based on the Polish Constitution.”
