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.
