Who will be part of the Gregorian-Abram Committee?

The head of the Ministry of Justice was to add that the committee would address not only the issue of public media, but besides restrictions on the holding of meetings or surveillance mechanisms and legal actions to be applied to civilian society from 2015 to 2023.

The fresh committee was besides voiced by the head of the Ministry of abroad Affairs, Tomasz Siemoniak, who noted that the committee would pay peculiar attention to: "the method of limiting the usage of constitutional freedoms".

The fresh committee set up by the ministry will be composed of:

Sylvia Gregorczyk-Abram
Paweł Murawski
Kinga Dagmara Siadlak
Mikołaj Małecki
Clementine Suchanov
Krzysztof Podemski
Andrzej Krajewski
Tomasz Grzyb
Catherine Antoniak
Dobrosław Rola
Magdalena Dropek

Together with Minister Siemoniak, we consider – besides with the approval of Donald Tusk – that it is worth spending quite a few time and energy to analyse the various mechanisms and ways by which civilian society organisations, activists, activists, were subjected to various kinds of pressures from 2015 to 2023. added Adam Bodnar at the conference.

At the same time, the ministry points out that this week Prime Minister Donald Tusk is to sign the order to set up a fresh committee.

The Head of the Ministry of Justice denies that the fresh committee has the character and powers of an enquiry committee.

I would like to stress, this is not a committee of enquiry (...) This is simply a committee that is to act on the basis of the collection of documentation, the discussions with NGOs, social organisations, activists and activists, cooperation with another authorities that I presume will... supply adequate information and will prepare reports on the basis of all this information. – said the head of MS.
