– the team leader stated publicly on the platform, signaling a potential convergence of oversight and political strategies.
Banaś has already engaged with Mentzen
The situation is not a joke for witnesses and observers. The plan outlined is for NIK inspectors to participate in the team meeting of the club or party itself, raising questions about how the auditors will balance the principle of political neutrality with active involvement in partisan events. Critics noted the similarity between Banaś’s earlier public explanations and a controversial press conference with Sławomir Mentzen, a leader associated with the Confederation, held in the lead-up to the parliamentary elections.
READ DETAILS: The joint conference of Banaś and Mentzen drew attention for assertions about strengthening institutional independence within the oversight chamber, while observers debated the implications for impartial governance.
It is relevant to recall that just before the election period, reports emerged about a recorded conversation involving Banaś and a constitutional expert. Various outlets described the recording as capturing tensions inside the oversight institution regarding politicization and alliances ahead of the vote. The discussions reportedly touched on strategic messaging aimed at influencing public perception during the final days of the campaign.
The tapes were described as reflecting attempts to shape narratives in the weeks leading up to the elections. Following their release, Banaś filed a complaint with prosecutors over the matter, highlighting ongoing concerns about eavesdropping and the use of information in political contests. The situation has remained a focal point for debates about oversight, transparency, and the boundaries between watchdog functions and political activity.
REMINDER: A new excerpt from Banaś’s conversations surfaced, including phrases suggesting a desire to influence political figures and public opinion. Critics argued that these disclosures underscored deeper tensions about the independence of the supervisory bodies and their role in party politics.
READ ALSO: Banaś’s ties were examined as the chairman of the Supreme Audit Office faced formal inquiries. The inquiry centered on potential irregularities and concerns about improper eavesdropping of a public official and the broader implications for governance and accountability.

This development prompted discussion about the democrats in the coalition and their stance on norms and governance. The overall reading suggested a moment where accountability, neutrality, and party strategy intersected in a politically charged environment.
