The District Prosecutor's Office in Zielona Góra issued a referral on Tuesday request to waive the immunity of Łukasz MejzaMP from Law and Justice. This is related to the findings of the prosecutor's office regarding the MP's asset declaration.

Trela: the entire club has a problem with property, especially not its own
MP Tomasz Trela from the New Left said in an interview with a TVN24 reporter that the Mejza case “is a fairly standard situation.”
– After all, the entire club has a problem with its property, especially not its own. Because they specialized in taking away the assets of the State Treasury, i.e. all citizens. What does Mejza have for them, who apparently hid his house, his apartment, and some savings? This is no problem for Kaczyński, he said.
