The tensions at the committee meeting
In turn, during the sitting, Members rejected the proposal of Vice-President Kazimierz Smoliński. Mr PiS argued that the Pegasus committee was acting illegally.
– I wanted to make a formal motion for the committee to reject the motion made by the lawyer General due to the fact that it was made by your prosecutor, as a consequence of an application made by an unauthorised body which does not be legally. I remind you that the Constitutional Court ruled that the resolution of the Sejm on the appointment of this committee (D. Pegasus – ed.) was incompatible with the constitution, said Smolinski. –
The lawyer General should no longer accept this proposal," he added.
More information soon.
