Schetyna’s surprising opinion
On Tuesday, KO Senator Grzegorz Schetyna emphasized on Radio Wrocław that the case of Kamiński and Wąsik shows the “inevitability of legal verdicts”.
I wish she would show it. This means that those legally convicted at the second instance begin the process of serving the imposed prison sentence
– said Schetyna.
The senator also opined that Wąsik and Kamiński would not serve prison sentences.
We will witness such a festival with many things and events in the coming hours or days, because it will all happen tomorrow and the day after. I know that they were invited today by President Duda (to the ceremony of the appointment of new presidential advisors – PAP) to emphasize: I don’t know if it is the unique relationship between them, or the fact that they are politically or legally untouchable .
– said the senator.
The PO politician said he believed President Andrzej Duda would pardon both convicts for a second time.
It is the officials of the president, President Duda, who believe that this first pardon, the law of clemency, was legal. It wasn’t and it’s pretty obvious. That’s why he doesn’t want to admit it. I don’t want any more repercussions to come from this (…) But the second is possible, namely a proper pardon after the trial. This pardon will, in my opinion, take place in the coming days
– he said.
President Andrzej Duda said on Monday that his 2015 pardon of Wąsik and Kamiński is valid and that the only reasonable solution is to close the case to avoid further unrest; This situation is de facto unsolvable in any other way, Duda said after a meeting with Sejm Chairman Szymon Hołownia. He added that they had not yet reached an agreement on this.

Schetyna about Gowin: “The most important witness”
The KO senator also referred to the hearing of former Deputy Prime Minister Jarosław Gowin before the Post-Election Investigative Committee. The meeting started before 10am today.
The former head of the PO, Senator Grzegorz Schetyna, pointed out on Radio Wrocław on Tuesday that Gowin – as deputy prime minister – “had entered into a very sharp conflict with Jarosław Kaczyński, who was one of the perpetrators, or spiritus movens, of the idea used to be. to hold envelope elections.”
There is a school of thought, both in commissions of inquiry and in trials or investigative proceedings, of listening to the key witness, either at the beginning, inviting them to talk and asking questions at the beginning or at the very end. .
– said Schetyna.
The PO politician pointed out that Gowin appears to be the “most important witness”.
I would call him a key political witness, if we could use that formula, because he has a lot of knowledge. Here we must first of all show what the PiS state mechanism looked like. What did the leading authority look like, who made the decisions, who gave directions and who built the subsequent stages of breaking the law, because that’s what it should be called
– said the senator.
Schetyna believed that the “envelope elections” ended Gowin’s political career.
He also knows (Gowin comment – PAP) that if he wants to backtrack or build a better memory of his political activities of recent years, he has to say everything and describe it in an appropriate way, so that public opinion can make its own assessment can get these problems.
– he said.
According to the KO senator, the key witness to appear before the investigative committee is also PiS President Jarosław Kaczyński.
I imagine and would like to see a confrontation between Jarosław Kaczyński and Jarosław Gowin on arrangements and preparation of decisions, or enforcing decisions on envelope elections
– said Schetyna.
