“I was excluded from this committee because the questions I had previously asked the witnesses – Jarosław Gowin, Michał Wypij, Robert Flsiak – made it difficult for them to carry out the story they had adopted in advance. This committee itself has been run from its first meeting in such a way that the false political narrative of the Civic Platform is confirmed,” said Law and Justice MP Paweł Jabłoński, who was excluded from the post-election investigation committee. wPolityce.pl portal. PiS MPs did not participate in the vote on the exclusion and left the room.
Six MPs voted in favor of Jabłoński’s exclusion, none were against and one MP abstained. PiS MPs Waldemar Buda and Przemysław Czarnek did not participate in the vote and left the hall together with Jabłoński.
From the very beginning, this committee has been managed in such a way that it only confirms preconceived political positions. And if anyone makes it difficult to achieve this political goal, that is a problem for Dariusz Joński. I was excluded from this committee precisely because the questions I had previously asked the witnesses – Jarosław Gowin, Michał Wypij, Robert Flsiak – made it difficult for them to carry out the story they had already adopted.
– Jabłoński said in an interview with wPolityce.pl.

Advisors’ opinions as an excuse
The chairman of the committee, Dariusz Joński (KO), announced in a conversation with journalists that he would submit a request to appoint Jabłoński as a witness.
They say they want to call me as a witness, but they still don’t want to call as witnesses people who actually have a lot of explaining to do in this case – especially Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska, Rafał Trzaskowski and Borys Budka. These are the key figures who concluded that the election preparation process was simply blocked
– emphasized the PiS MP.
Joński asked the committee’s advisors for advice on the possibility of excluding Jabłoński from the committee. He then announced that the committee’s advisers had issued ten opinions on the possibility of excluding Jabłoński. He stated that – according to the opinions of five advisors – there are reasons for exclusion, that four opinions express the opposite view and that one is ambiguous.
Then a group of parliamentarians: Dariusz Joński (KO), Jacek Karnowski (KO), Bartosz Romowicz (Polska 2050-TD), Magdalena Filiks (KO), Agnieszka Kłopotek (PSL-TD) and Anita Kucharska-Dziedzic (left) joined the committee submitted a request to exclude MP Paweł Jabłoński from staff.
Jabłoński himself commented on the opinion issue in an interview with the wPolityce.pl portal.
This also clearly shows what kind of situation we are dealing with. In fact, these opinions were only intended as a pretext, as an argument for dismissing me from this committee, because the goal was actually political.
– he pointed out.
The decision was actually made much earlier. Even before these opinions were received, it was already clear from the public statements of Mr Joński and Mr Karnowski that I would be excluded from this committee.
– said the PiS MP.
Political purpose
Furthermore, if Mr. Karnowski and Mr. Romowicz want to apply the same standard to everyone, they must exclude themselves from this committee because, as local government officials, they have decided to refuse to provide voter data. They want the committee to have a specific effect; that the commission would declare the elections illegal. If the commission rules that the elections were legal, their decisions can be considered illegal. They therefore have a personal interest in this committee exclusively approving this political story of the Civic Platform.
– Jabłoński explained it to us, adding that “they are not impartial people,” so “the same standard should be applied to them.”
Even before the vote, MP Jabłoński spoke and emphasized that he had no doubt “that there are people in this committee who, to varying degrees, were involved, expressed their opinions, or were personally interested in a specific outcome of the vote.” work.”
I’m not that interested. You have decided to dismiss me from this committee and you are going to do so, without any doubt this decision has been known for several days
– said Jabłoński.
He added that in the event of his exclusion from the committee, other people “much less impartially” than him “should be treated to the same standard.” According to Jabłoński, these are the members of the commission’s presidium: Bartosz Romowicz – former mayor of Ustrzyki Dolne and Jacek Karnowski – former president of Sopot. Jabłoński pointed out that they – as local government officials – refused to provide the voters’ list to Poczta Polska.
Completing the composition of the committee
Under the Law on the Sejm Investigative Committee, in the event of dismissal or exclusion of a member from the committee, the Sejm makes a supplementary election. This member must be elected jointly, so the Sejm will have to choose a member from PiS.
However, lately we have been watching the actions of Donald Tusk’s government without legal basis, including an attack on the public media or the prosecutor’s office. Can similar actions also be expected in the case of the composition of the post-election investigation committee?
Every day during the Sejm sessions they show that they don’t care about regulations or parliamentary practices, so I expect the worst possible actions.
– Jabłoński told the wPolityce.pl portal.
The story of PO
However, from its first meeting, this committee itself has been run in such a way that it is not intended to establish facts, but rather to confirm the false political narrative of the Civic Platform.
– he assessed.
He added that Law and Justice MPs may encounter difficulties in the committee.
I expect that President Joński and the majority of the Civic Platform will continue to make it very difficult for them to ask uncomfortable questions
– said the PiS politician.
MP Przemysław Czarnek asked the chairman of the committee whether he wanted to exclude all PiS members from it. According to Czarnek, Joński “wants to make this commission not only absurd and unfounded, but also illegal.”
