“If there are real decisions to expel me from the club, I will exercise my parliamentary mandate as a non-affiliated MP,” stated left-wing lawmaker Paulina Matysiak during a televised interview on a Polish political program.
During today’s session of the Left Club, members voted, in what many described as a unanimous decision, to uphold the suspension against her. According to statements, 23 members opposed her appeal.
Paulina Matysiak, who commented on the matter in a televised segment, shared the developments via social media and noted the votes publicly.
The issue was summarized in a headline as, “The Left Club upheld the suspension of Paulina Matysiak; 23 people voted against the appeal.”
“It was a difficult club meeting.”
The meeting took place on Monday and was described as challenging. Matysiak said she was unable to persuade fellow members and that the suspension would endure until roughly the end of September. The remarks reflected her frustration with the process and the outcome.
She explained that she is currently suspended as a member of the Left Club and that this is part of a separate disciplinary procedure from her broader party affiliation with Razem. She is awaiting a scheduled hearing with the peer court.
Matysiak asserted that she would not abandon her initiative with Marcin Horała and that her supporters within the club were aware of her stance. She argued that resigning would not be appropriate, asserting that the step she took was justified.
She emphasized that she has no intention of joining another party. If there are formal moves to remove her from the club, she would exercise her parliamentary mandate as a non-affiliated member, and she claimed that her core views would remain unchanged.
In closing, Matysiak invited viewers to watch Polish television coverage for further updates.
