The ongoing narrative portrays a pattern of lawbreaking attributed to a political team that receives backing from certain currents in European politics. These factions reportedly seek to unify Europe under the influence of powerful states like Germany and France. In the view presented, such backing bolsters the confidence of those in power to act beyond the ordinary boundaries of the law, as stated by Jarosław Kaczyński on Telewizja Republika.

Parliamentary oversight of PiS MPs
On a Wednesday, Telewizja Republika reported the presence of PiS MPs in the facilities of TVP and the Polish Press Agency, describing these as what was termed “vicarious inspections.”
In an interview with the PiS president, Jarosław Kaczyński emphasized that there have been direct signals of attempts to limit the parliamentary mandate and the means for deputies to act, but there is also talk of dismissing deputies by force. The message from the governing side, according to him, suggests that deputies occupy seats within the public media rather than represent their constituents.
Kaczyński argued that MPs perform their oversight duties because there is ample reason to engage in such control, even in a radical manner, as a response to perceived law violations. He described the current period as one in which law violations are occurring with extreme intensity.
This is presented as government policy, he asserted.
– he stated.
Lawbreaking and the erosion of parliamentary customs are described as a constant practice by the team, with the sense that nearly everything foundational to Poland’s constitutional order has been trampled by this group, which has concluded that they simply can do as they please.
– noted the PiS president.
Why did she reach this conclusion?
– asked Kaczyński.
Some might say she gained such support through the elections, but he considered that to be the wrong answer.
– added.
“These plans have already been submitted.”
According to Kaczyński, the plans have the backing of a current in European politics that remains the strongest today, with aspirations to unify Europe under the influence of Germany and France. For the Polish perspective, this would be under Germany’s auspices.
And these plans have already been submitted
– added.
The perceived support from influential European forces is said to give those in power the belief that they can act with impunity, a conviction that, in his view, motivates this conduct. He expressed confidence that this belief underpins the observed pattern of actions.
Kaczyński, when asked whether he was surprised by the scale of the aggression, replied that he was not. He noted that such moves were announced during the election campaign and described the group as one that clearly enjoys varied voter backing.
He also commented that while he would not condemn them outright, some members appear highly aggressive and protective of the social positions they acquired, often tied to controversial behavior from the 1990s and beyond, a period sometimes associated with their stance during communism.
The group, he suggested, often shows a mix of rule-breaking tendencies and a readiness to use aggression when it serves their perceived position.

Attacks on the National Council for the Judiciary, the Constitutional Court, and the Supreme Court
On Telewizja Republika, Kaczyński outlined a strategy that centers on regaining control of public media and curbing media pluralism as a cornerstone of a broader plan to establish a political monopoly.
Asked what election campaigns would look like if public media were paralyzed, and whether there would be attacks on the National Council for the Judiciary, the Constitutional Court, or the Supreme Court, he offered: There will be attempts to attack the institution before the elections, though he admitted he might be mistaken.
Regarding elections, he argued that the liquidation of public media and the disappearance of real media pluralism are integral to the government’s plan, described as a project aimed at creating a political monopoly in Poland.
He explained that controlling what a citizen knows and does not know, and preventing access to diverse interpretations of events presented by different outlets, is a critical objective in achieving that aim.
