The opposition aims to hold the United Right government to account
Public actions by authorities must stay within the law. The opposition vows to investigate and address the lawlessness, dysfunction, and crimes they allege within the United Right administration, following the coalition agreement they published.
The coalition document was signed in the Sejm by leaders of several parties: the Civic Platform, Donald Tusk; Poland 2050, Szymon Hołownia; the Polish People’s Party, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz; and the co-chairs of the New Left, Włodzimierz Czarzasty and Robert Biedroń.
A distinct section of the agreement focuses on accountability for the United Right government. It asserts that the irregularities witnessed during prior administrations must be exposed and those responsible must be held accountable.
Without addressing the pathologies and alleged crimes of the former government, there cannot be a truly honest and law-abiding Poland. The constitution’s principle that all government actions must stay within legal bounds will shape both the settlement process and the governance of the coalition-led administration.
This commitment is outlined in the contract.
The partners also commit to holding those who allegedly attempted to illegally alter the state structure, violated the Constitution and laws, compromised the rule of law, compromised public institutions, misused public funds, or engaged in unlawful acts, to account. They propose the creation of parliamentary inquiry committees for areas that require detailed scrutiny.
The agreement envisions bringing to justice through an independent public prosecutor’s office and independent courts all those deemed culpable, including acts such as overstepping powers, neglecting duties, embezzlement of public funds, nepotism, political corruption and influence peddling, alleged hate speech within government media, use of media and state resources to sway electoral outcomes, and document falsification or official forgeries.
