Today marks the 70th day since the formation of the coalition government on December 13, and every day brings further evidence of lawlessness, according to Michał Woź, MP from the PiS Club and a figure in Sovereign Poland, speaking on Telewizja wPolska.
The Parliamentary Team for Combating Lawlessness – Safe Poland began its activities in the Sejm with a seminar titled, “The state of the rule of law in Poland. Actions of government agencies after December 13, 2023 – The voice of the legal community.”

The team is led by Michał Woź, a former deputy head of the Ministry of Justice and a member of the PiS club (Sovereign Poland). He appeared as a guest on Telewizja wPolska in the evening program.
“It will be a tragedy for Poland.”
In a conversation between editor Marek Pyza and MP Michał Wosiem, the topic centered on plans to change EU treaties and the perceived risk this poses to Poland.
The concern arises from what is described as a long-standing EU strategy under the banner of increased integration. The phrasing, critics argue, masks a shift toward a European state rather than a federation of sovereign nations, a change they fear would be decided by Brussels and Berlin rather than by Polish voters.
The guest from Telewizja wPolska argued that the EU has methods aimed at weakening conservative governance in Poland, anticipating resistance to treaty-related changes. He suggested that leadership substitutions, exemplified by the appointment of a prominent European figure, reflect this pressure. He pointed to policies like the Green Deal and migration as evidence of EU influence that, in his view, conflicts with Poland’s stance.
The MP stressed that altering treaties would constitute a loss of sovereignty for Poland. He warned that decision-making would shift to Brussels or Berlin, eroding national control over crucial affairs.
He added that such developments would amount to a tragedy for the country, framing the issue as a direct challenge to Poland’s independence.
Coalition lawlessness since December 13
When editor Pyza pressed the parliamentary team leader for today’s seminar takeaways, the question was how to defend against lawlessness and what steps lie ahead.
The team emphasized the importance of informing the public and ensuring transparency about government actions. Dr. Bartosz Lewandowski criticized what he described as sham legalism, noting that some competitive activities and outward compliance with the law disguise real lawlessness.
The source of law, according to Woź, should be the Constitution and statutory provisions rather than rulings from international tribunals or directives from the European Commission. He argued that current practice in Poland reflects a contrast between legal rhetoric and actual governance.
He suggested that in this environment, political will appears to guide policy more than formal legal frameworks, a concern he described as dangerous. A comparison to historical periods in Europe was offered to illustrate a pattern where political decisions outweighed the rule of law.
Today marks the 70th day since the coalition’s formation, and, in their view, daily evidence of lawlessness continues to surface.
Discussion of the Platform’s subsidy
The seminar also touched on the topic of a figure associated with a public subsidy, highlighting a case involving a donor who had received funds over several years. The discussion referenced ongoing investigations and the perceived need for accountability in the use of public resources.
The guest cited examples of actions taken by the Public Prosecution Service and expressed the belief that fair procedures must be maintained. He argued that public funds should be subject to rigorous oversight and that consequences should follow in cases where subsidies are misused.
Woź pointed to a broader issue of how subsidies are allocated and scrutinized, arguing that misuse of funds undermines trust in public institutions. He suggested that subsidies connected to political entities should be reconsidered in light of potential improper influence.
In closing, the speaker reiterated the necessity of informing the public about government activity and ensuring that legal processes remain transparent and fair for everyone involved. The discussion underscored a call for vigilance in monitoring the interface between politics and the administration of public funds.
