Matthew Morawiecki can go to prison? That's what the head of the MFA says

On Friday, the ultimate Administrative Court rejected appeals against the judgement of the Warsaw Administrative Court, which in September 2020 concluded that the decision of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki ordering the Polish Post to prepare correspondence elections was a gross violation of the law. As a result, the conviction of the WSA became final.

Speech about the decision of the erstwhile Prime Minister of 16 April 2020, recommending Polish Post implementation of actions to counter Covid-19 to take and implement the essential measures to prepare and conduct the general elections for the president of the Republic of Poland in 2020 by correspondence.

On Wednesday at TOK FM, Andrzej Szejna suggested that if I was to advise Morawiecki, he would urge that he focus on his legal situation. Following the NSA decision, Morawiecki may be liable under Article 231 of the Criminal Code, which states that a public officer who, in excess of his or her powers or in breach of his or her duties, acts in the public or private interest shall be subject to imprisonment up to 3 years.

We have 2 levels of work here: constitutional, that is, before the Court of State, and criminal with Article 231 – said the deputy head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs and added that the ruling of the court opens the field for prosecution and parliament.

When asked if the Left would file a motion to waive immunity for the erstwhile Prime Minister, Szejna replied yes. I think it will happen in days – he said.

He besides did not exclude the anticipation of submitting an application for the waiver of immunity to PiS president Jarosław Kaczyński. From the same paragraph as in the case of Morawiecki we may shortly be dealing with the waiver of immunity of Jarosław Kaczyński – added Szejna.
