Voting on the waiver of immunity and agreeing to arrest is beginning the way to the court to decide on this issue," said talker Simon Holovnia before voting on the immunity of Mr Zbigniew Ziobra. He added that the Sejm did not assess, for example, the wellness of the fishy or the accused.PAP

The Sejm votes on Friday to waive the immunity of PiS MP Zbigniew Ziobra and to consent to his temporary arrest. The D.A. wants to charge the erstwhile Minister of Justice with 26 charges of illegally having funds from the Justice Fund.

The Rules of Procedure Committee supported the prosecutor's request on Thursday. Ziobro is suspected of preparing counterfeit bids for multi-million-dollar subsidies, acting for individual political benefit and harming the state and the public interest.

Ziobro in Budapest: "It's an adventure"

Zbigniew Ziobro is presently in Hungary, where he undergoes oncological treatment. In a conversation with tv Republic, a fewer hours before voting in the Sejm, the politician defended himself against charges.

«For a week now, it has been trumpeted in the media that I will be in Budapest. Arresting me the day I am not in Poland would be a certain phenomenon», Ziobro said. He added that he had a ticket to Poland, but was informed about the justice on Saturday.

Former Justice Minister powerfully attacked Donald Tusk's government. «I am not defending myself due to the fact that I am under oncological care subject to caring medical care, only due to the fact that in Poland there is an abuse of justice for the political interests of Donald Tusk, who is the head of the ring, instrumentalizes the law by lying allegations and wants to put people in jail”, he said.

Debate in the Sejm: wellness or the Law?

PiS MP Michał Wójcik requested that the item be removed from the agenda, citing the opinion of an expert doctor. “[...] further treatment of Ziobra - suffering from cancer - will not be possible under conditions of imprisonment”, he argued during the session.

However, the Marshal of the Sejm Simon Holovnia explained the parliamentary procedure. «Voting immunity and agreeing to arrest is beginning the way for the court to decide on this substance - already on the basis of Kpk, which actually requires a message of the wellness of the suspect/defendant at the time", he said. «We only decide whether the court can make specified a decision or not”, he added.

The president of the Regulatory Commission Jarosław Urbaniak (KO) cut off from the wellness arguments. «The state of wellness of the fishy interests the prosecutor erstwhile deciding whether to apply for detention, and the court who is to make specified a decision», he spoke from the Sejm speaker. “The Sejm is only making a decision on the permit”, explained the MP.

PiS hits the government before voting

«We have the biggest wellness crisis. The crisis, which translates into misery for many patients, including death”, said the leader of the Law and Justice Service. The Ministry of wellness announced on the same day an agreement for additional support for the NFZ of PLN 3.5 billion.
