AI-generated summary

Why It Matters

In July 2025, Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek submitted a request to hold MP Łukasz Mejza criminally liable for irregularities in the implementation of e-learning training for employees of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in 2019-2022. The prosecutor's office accuses him of committing three crimes: fraud, certifying untruths in a document and obtaining a subsidy.

The application for consent to bring Mejza criminally liable was submitted in July this year by Prosecutor General Waldemar Żurek. This concerned the proceedings of the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Poznań regarding irregularities related to the implementation of e-learning training for employees of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in 2019-2022.

Prosecutor General's Office: MP Mejza committed three crimes

As prosecutor Anna Adamiak, spokeswoman for the General Prosecutor's Office, informed in July, the material collected in the case allowed for the suspicion that "MP Łukasz Mejza committed three separate acts, each of which constitutes the crimes of fraud, certification of untruths in a document and extortion of subsidies." During the September meeting of the parliamentary committee on regulations, parliamentary matters and immunity, prosecutors pointed out that Mejza, together with another identified person, financed entrepreneurs with the required own contribution for training provided by his company, and then submitted invoices to the Regional Development Agency that "did not reflect the actual costs".

Proc. Artur Karczmarczyk said that the damage amounted to nearly PLN 50,000. He said that the training offered by the company "Future Wolves Łukasz Mejza" required entrepreneurs to make a 25 percent own contribution. According to the prosecutor, in most disclosed cases, training expenses were "economically irrational", including: in comparison with the business profile of entrepreneurs, the form of employment of employees and the level of their remuneration.

Mejza: I am innocent, I will waive my immunity, but not now

Mejza, an unaffiliated MP, described the case as "a grotesque, a comedic affair carried out on political orders." He also announced that he would voluntarily waive his immunity in this case because - as he added - "he has a clear conscience." However, he stressed that he "will not do it now" and will waive his immunity "at a time he deems appropriate."

Then, in September, the parliamentary regulations committee gave a positive opinion on the prosecutor's office's application. Late on Wednesday evening, during the committee's report in the plenary hall, Mejza came to the podium and - showing the deputy marshal the letter to Dorota Niedziela - said that he had waived his immunity in this matter. In addition to the documents, he also placed a bouquet of flowers next to the deputy marshal of Niedziela, saying, among other things: "flowers for my colleague's prosecutor."

The Deputy Speaker asked the MP to take the flowers. As he did not do so, she adjourned the meeting.

There is a decision regarding the immunity of MP Łukasz Mejza

On Thursday evening, the Sejm Rules Committee found that the MP's declaration of consent to be held criminally liable meets the requirements of formal correctness. Thus, he will provide such an opinion on the formal correctness of the MP's statement to the Speaker of the Sejm. This is not the only criminal case involving MP Mejza. In April 2025, the District Prosecutor's Office in Zielona Góra filed an indictment against Mejza.

Elections in Krakow: What about the debate before the second round?

The last day of the campaign before the second round of early presidential elections is taking place in Krakow. Candidates Łukasz Gibała and Monika Piątkowska did not hold a public debate due to discrepancies in its organization, focusing instead on meetings with residents and interviews. The campaign saw litigation over the dissemination of false information: Gibała's committee won a case against Piątkowska regarding alleged layoff plans, and Piątkowska's committee won against Gibala regarding his debt-free declaration. The electoral silence will start at midnight from Friday to Saturday and will last until Sunday 9:00 p.m. Voting will take place in 454 precincts, the results will be published on dobre.gov.pl, and the official results will be provided by the Municipal Electoral Commission in Krakow. In the first round, Gibała received 36.38% of the votes, Piątkowska 29.91% of the votes. The elections are a consequence of the referendum in which Aleksander Miszalski was dismissed from the office of president of Krakow.
