Penalty for Kaczyński for words about the police

On July 10, Jarosław Kaczyński, together with PiS politicians and the head of the Chancellery of the President, Zbigniew Bogucki, came to Piłsudski Square to lay wreaths in front of the monuments of President Lech Kaczyński and the victims of the 2010 Smolensk Tragedy.

There were protesters on site and the police kept order. PiS politicians were not allowed by the officers directly to the Lech Kaczyński monument. They laid wreaths some distance from the monument.

Kaczyński accused the police of not reacting to - as he said - insults, attacks and threats directed at the participants of the monthly events.

In fact, we are currently dealing with the ruling party's militias, not the police, said the PiS president.

The Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration, Marcin Kierwiński, then commented on Kaczyński's statement. In a post on the X platform, he described the PiS leader's behavior towards the police as "scandalous".

It is a shame that the former deputy prime minister for security attacks officers and the Polish uniform - wrote the head of the Ministry of Interior and Administration.

KO MP Maria Janyska, chairwoman of the parliamentary administration and internal affairs committee, then announced that she would submit a request to punish Jarosław Kaczyński to the Deputies' Ethics Committee.

Pursuant to the regulations, the committee may punish a Member by issuing a remark, warning or reprimand. The MP has the right to appeal against the decision of the ethics committee within 14 days from the date of delivery of the resolution regarding the penalty.
