Jacek Sasin, the former Minister of State Assets, told RMF FM that he is prepared to answer any question and has nothing to hide, as discussions about a new parliamentary majority establishing a committee to probe post-election correspondence elections began. The former Deputy Prime Minister in Mateusz Morawiecki’s government expressed the conviction that members of his party, along with himself, stand ready to face accusations with the truth, aiming to strengthen support for setting up the investigative body.
He argued that sweeping untruths surround the topic and that a parliamentary inquiry could serve as a constructive space to correct misinformation.
– Jacek Sasin announced on RMF.
Commissions of Inquiry
He insisted that threats from the new parliamentary majority to question the PiS regime are misplaced. He contended that the United Right has nothing to hide and is unafraid of such moves, even suggesting the whole affair resembles a hoax and a story far removed from reality.
Sasin noted that the driving force behind the majority’s actions appears to be retaliation for eight years of United Right rule.
I heard Mr Gramatyka mention a possible reference to Sasina in the proposed inquiry. He recalled the old Stalinist tactic of promising accusations to force a confession, a line Sasin rejected as unfounded.
– the former Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin remarked on RMF FM.
He added that any doubts about the postal elections had already been cleared by the court and that the Supreme Audit Office, led by Marian Banaś who is seen as hostile to Jarosław Kaczyński’s party, would oversee the investigation.
The assertions about charges were challenged, with statements that the prosecutor’s office had twice dismissed the case and that an independent court, seen as favorable to different political sympathies than Law and Justice, affirmed that the matter should be closed.
– Sasin stated.
He also noted that his group would have been comfortable with four representatives on the investigative committee, even though five were initially expected.

In relation to the proposal from the majority behind Donald Tusk to form an investigative panel into the use of Pegasus by Polish services, Sasin argued that it would be difficult to accuse anyone if procedures were followed and the appropriate legal permissions and judicial oversight were in place.
If it could be shown that Pegasus was used without proper authorization, the opposition would have a case to make. Until then, Sasin maintained that no such incident had occurred.
– Sasin emphasized.
Support for the Government
The United Right representative could not definitively say whether Morawiecki’s government would secure a vote of confidence in the Sejm in the near term.
He avoided predicting outcomes, acknowledging that optimism is hard to come by ahead of Monday and that the goal remains to fight to the end and build a solid majority as a commitment to voters.
– he stated.
The politician hinted at the possibility of bringing members of the new majority into Morawiecki’s cabinet but also stressed that the ideological ally closest to the Polish People’s Party could offer support if it serves Poland’s national interests.
He said he did not want to speculate and noted that politics is full of surprises. The Third Way and the Polish People’s Party were cited as closest in worldview and potentially conducive to an agreement that would benefit the country.
– he explained.
Tusk and the National Recovery Plan
Sasin expressed doubt about Donald Tusk’s claim of a first measurable success tied to money from the National Recovery Plan. He suggested that the funds were expected to flow to Poland after the election, regardless of the winner.
He added that payment delays related to the Fund arise more from political dynamics among EU elites in Brussels than from formal obstacles.
If Law and Justice won and governed effectively, the funds would likely reach Poland sooner, he argued, noting that earlier holdups were driven by political calculation within European institutions aimed at supporting opposition groups. This rapidity in decisions, he observed, reflects ongoing changes in political and legal climates, though he implied that legal frameworks remained largely intact and many alleged reasons for blocking funds had not been resolved.
– the PiS politician remarked.
PiS Action?
Reflecting on the election results, Sasin criticized the opposition for not allowing PiS to govern, despite the party achieving the strongest showing among all groups in October’s elections. He suggested that this did not illustrate mature democratic conduct and argued that in stable democracies, a victorious party would often seek coalition partners rather than being sidelined by rivals.
– Sasin observed.
He claimed that Law and Justice finds itself effectively cordoned off from full participation in Polish public life by competing groups, a situation he characterized as an improper normality in their country.
– he added.
The parliamentarian asserted on RMF FM that PiS would not alter its policies or ideological stance, and that only the approach to voters, the messaging, and language could change. He also selected Jarosław Kaczyński as a central, unchanging figure and urged against his resignation from party leadership.
