The secret sitting of the Sejm was convened at the request of Donald Tusk. The Prime Minister provided Members with information on "the cryptoafer and the Russian footprint in it". All electronics was removed from the gathering room: Members were taken from their phones, smartwatche, and even any pens, so that nothing would go outside the room.
Such mobilisation was linked to unofficial reports from the services about the activities of organized groups associated with Russian peculiar services and the possible usage of cryptocurrency to finance diversion operations in Poland.
Zbigniew Bogucki powerfully criticized Donald Tusk. "Where have the servants been for a year?"
Today it is mostly hot in the Sejm, due to the fact that on the same day Members will vote to reject the presidential veto to the crypto-activist marketplace law. During his speech after a secret sitting, Prime Minister Tusk was very upset.
Get it together, it's not politics. We are talking about a situation in which a company, a leading company on the market, co-financed by Russian money, whose name I passed on at a secret meeting, which feels like gentlemen in the salons of the right hand... – said the Prime Minister.
“Do you realize that the company, in the background of which are missing people, Russian money, is besides a sponsor of activities that are curious in the top organization officers and public opinion leaders on the right?” added Tusk.
Zbigniew Bogucki spared no criticism. – You compose an indictment with your speech to yourself and to the heads of your services, to your ministers. This regulation should be introduced last December. If it was so dangerous, where were the servants all year? Since erstwhile have you had this information since yesterday? – he asked from the speaker.
– The subject of the vote is very simple: how to cover the government's ineptness, defeat of the medical summit, deficiency of service... You gotta take off this suit, rotation up your sleeves and get to work" - he appealed.
The head of the NRP concluded that "when you have so many officials, an army of specialists, you spend a luck on it and compose a bill that is crucial to the safety of the state... I am sorry to say it, but you, Prime Minister, have made a fool of yourself."
The secret session of the Sejm is over. "Kaczyński was terrified"
The secret sitting of the Sejm ended at noon. Opposition MPs, including the Law and Justice Department, agreed that the speech should be public and called them "PR-shark". Sebastian Kaleta estimated that "In Donald Tusk's interest is that this should not happen".
Others, like Paul Szrot, did not realize the reasons for being classified, for "I have not seen any information that would not have been presented beforehand." Even Adrian Zandberg of Together did not realize why the deliberations were secret. The president of PiS, Jarosław Kaczyński, was very restrained, stating only, "You will not get anything out of me... I will not say anything about it, you will not persuade me."
However, the ruling coalition politicians presented a completely different vision. They were shocked by the arrangements. MP KO Witold Zembaczyński estimated that the information was "cruising and was new", and after proceeding them, "it choked me". The strongest words came from Tomasz Trela of the Left, who stated that "the opposition MPs were terrified, especially Jarosław Kaczyński".
He added that during the speech, "the hall on the right was silent... due to the fact that she was terrified, in my opinion, of the information that the Prime Minister spoke". Krzysztof Paszyk of PSL admitted that in fact the "Russian footprint" was presented in this speech.
