Financial penalties for PiS Members. Jarosław Kaczyński severely reproved

Krzysztof Bosak: You cannot be a justice in your own case

This decision did not coincide with Deputy Marshal of Parliament Krzysztof Bosak of the Confederation. But, to be pointed out, the politician besides disliked the conduct of the PiS MPs. "I have a negative assessment of the behaviour of Members of Parliament the day before yesterday. I am besides negative about today's decisions of the Presidium of the Sejm, consisting of large financial penalties imposed on Members who shouted their insults at the Sejm," Bosak wrote on X at night.

“From punishment for insult and defamation is the court. Why should a common citizen wait for years and pay for lawyers in the meantime, and a wealthy lawyer from the ruling coalition (Roman Gierty — ed.). Should he have his opponents punished the next day? After all, those who decree specified express penalties are liable for the collapse of the Polish judiciary, for the deficiency of any reforms speeding up its operation and removing the current mess," he argued.

He besides recalled the rules that should be imposed erstwhile resolving disputes. "Moreover, the fundamental rule of the regulation of law is not to be a justice in your own case. Coalition politicians taking wages from their opposition rivals, with whom they are in a toxic and long-term conflict, is simply a blatant violation of the rule of court independence. If the Presidium of the Sejm is considered to be competent to measure the case, then politicians should “disable” from the “judgment”, draw any neutral lawyers, ask them for a legal assessment of the case and then accept and approve their judgement during the bureau”, states the Confederate policies.

Finally, he adds that "The Members may appeal the penalties imposed by the Sejm's Presidium only... one more time to the Presidium, where coalition politicians have the majority". "This is simply a violation of the rule of duality," he categorically declares.
