“It is easy to abuse someone who is illegally imprisoned and cannot defend themselves.” This remark was tied to Michał Wypij’s testimony before the Commission of Inquiry on Postal Voting, and it was echoed by Stanisław Żaryn, an adviser to the President of Poland. A former Sejm member alleged that Mariusz Kamiński, then head of the Ministry of the Interior and Administration, had threatened members of the Agreement with prison as a means of pressuring political allies.
Stanisław Żaryn, a presidential adviser who previously worked with Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik as officials at the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Administration, commented on the testimony of the former MP and on the submissions from MPs and the former head of the KBA.
It is a troubling idea that anyone could misuse power against someone who is deprived of liberty and cannot defend themselves. When Minister Mariusz Kamiński is eventually released, he will have the opportunity to address and respond to the accusations. The public debate will continue, as reflected on the X platform.

Wypij’s attack on Kamiński
PiS MPs Mariusz Kamiński and Maciej Wąsik, who led the Ministry of the Interior and Administration until 2023, have faced claims that their freedoms were unjustly curtailed, limiting their ability to challenge potential charges. The question remains whether former MP Michał Wypij leveraged this reality during his testimony before the Commission of Inquiry on postal voting.
During one remark, the witness referenced a planned meeting at the villa of then-Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, describing it as part of a broader context of political decisions.
Wypij recalled that Kamiński, in a moment of intense anger, suggested that their actions were tantamount to imprisonment and that the group must be held accountable for their conduct against the state.

“Destroying People”
According to Wypij’s testimony, Kamiński allegedly attempted to calm the situation by speaking with PiS President Jarosław Kaczyński. This stance could expose Kamiński to questions about accountability, though the former parliamentarian’s testimony has delighted opposition figures within the Civic Coalition, among others including Dariusz Joński, who leads the investigative committee.
Michał Wypij asserted that Kamiński reacted with fury during a meeting at the Prime Minister’s villa, indicating that the group should go to prison and that they were effectively finished. Later, Jerzy Milewski, a former adviser to President Duda, and a representative linked to Military Counterintelligence reportedly urged the father of then-MP Wypij to influence votes in a way that could risk public health and safety.
Investigators noted that during a gathering at Parkowa Street villa, Kamiński allegedly exclaimed that the group should be destroyed. The narrative now frames Kamiński as facing consequences for allegations of harming people.
Meanwhile, Paweł Wojtunik, the former head of CBA, reportedly experienced a moment of shock following Wypij’s testimony, with observers joking that this reaction resembled a form of karmic consequence.
“Encourage different MP Brejza”
As Brejza continued his criticisms of Minister Kamiński, Stanisław Żaryn responded to another submission from a Civic Coalition politician. Writings attributed to Brejza describe Kamiński’s program as including the pursuit of what he characterizes as the “destruction of people.” A former United Right activist suggests that this threat looms over the political landscape, with Kamiński currently facing questions related to past actions that stirred controversy.
Brejza argues that Kamiński and Wąsik faced imprisonment for political motives. The exchange is marked by strong rhetoric as Brejza underscores alleged biases in how accountability is pursued. The exchange concludes with Brejza’s assertion that Kamiński and Wąsik are subjected to political retaliation, a claim that continues to echo in parliamentary dialogue.
The exchange, while heated, reflects ongoing tensions over the use of power, accountability, and how political rivalries intersect with legal proceedings. The debate remains a focal point for parliamentary scrutiny and public commentary.
