Szymon Hołownia is playing a strange game regarding the procedure for replacing MPs Wąsik and Kamiński. If he is so sure of his decisions, which he would have based on legal provisions, why did he not publish the appropriate notice in Monitor Polski? According to the findings of the wPolityce.pl portal, the Chairman of the Sejm has a certain problem with this. Thanks to the representatives of former PiS ministers, Hołownia has an even bigger problem than it thinks.**

Until there is an announcement in Monitor Polski about the expiry of the mandates, the National Electoral Commission will not appoint any further candidates from the lists.
– said the chairman of the National Electoral Commission, Sylwester Marciniak, referring to the issue of the expiration of the mandates of PiS politicians Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik.
**According to the provisions of the Electoral Act, the announcement of this decision by the Marshal in Monitor Polski means that the persons concerned have not exercised their right to appeal, or that the appeal has not been accepted by the Supreme Court and the De the next step is up to the National Electoral Commission. The National Electoral Commission will then appoint further candidates
– said Marciniak, rightly pointing to art. 251 §1 of the Electoral Code.
This provision of the code clearly states in point 3 that “the Marshal of the Sejm, based on information from the National Electoral Commission, will notify the next candidate from the same list of candidates who received the highest number of votes.” the elections, of his priority over the mandate, in the case of: the dismissal of an appeal by the Supreme Court against the decision of the President of the Sejm after the expiry of the mandate.
A problem arises here, because the Chamber for Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs has decided to accept the call of MPs Kamiński and Wąsik, which means that there is no question of appointing another MP from the electoral list.
However, Hołownia pretended there was no problem and waited for the decision of the Chamber of Labor and Social Security of the Supreme Court. She will rule, but only in the case of Mariusz Kamiński, tomorrow at 11am However, he is doing it illegally, because the dismissal of the former head of the CBA had already been decided by the Chamber responsible for resolving the case, namely the Chamber for Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs. The same thing happened with the dismissal of Maciej Wąsik. If Hołownia wants to rely on the legal act of the Chamber of Labor, this will contribute to a serious violation of the law.
Hołownia cannot pretend that the Court’s decisions do not exist. According to information from the portal wPolityce.pl, both resolutions of this House were sent today to the Chancellery of the Sejm. They would be personally handed over by the representatives of both PiS MPs.
Hołownia has lost in the political chess game with the team led by Kamiński and Wąsik almost from the first day of the crisis it caused. By the way, it turned out that his appointment with Judge Prusinowski, the President of the Chamber of Labor and Social Security of the Supreme Court, ended in complete embarrassment for both actors of this comedy. Will the rotating chairman of the Sejm soon be left alone on the battlefield?
