– We give this case a huge importance, but in fact this is a man who will potentially go to prison, potentially robbed, potentially is a bandit – said Włodzimierz Czarzasty in “Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24. He referred in this way to the events surrounding PiS MP Marcin Romanowski. The Deputy Speaker of the Sejm and co-chairman of the New Left said he was “simply fed up” with dealing with this topic.
Deputy Speaker of the Sejm and co-chairman of the New Left Włodzimierz Czarzasty he spoke in “Fakty po Faktach” on TVN24 about the case PiS MP Marcin Romanowski, who faces a number of charges in the investigation into the Justice Fund. The former deputy head of the Ministry of Justice, for whom an arrest warrant was issued, was granted political asylum Hungaryand last week he announced that he had “renounced his status as a professional MP” and would therefore not receive parliamentary remuneration.
– I'm just fed up with (…) dealing with potential thieves and bandits all the time. I mean, we give this case a huge importance, but in fact this is a man who will potentially go to prison, potentially robbed, potentially is a bandit – noted Czarzasty.
– Dealing with a bandit every day and telling them what a great bandit he is – I'm fed up with it – he emphasized.
“These matters are quite simple and I think they need to be told in simple language.”
Referring to the ongoing public debate on whether Romanowski should receive a salary, allowance and other funds for parliamentarians, Czarzasty said that “these matters are quite simple and I think they need to be talked about in simple language.”
– First of all, when it comes to Mr. Romanowski's remuneration, he resigned from this remuneration. No topic, that's it, period. There's no point in guessing. As far as the allowance is concerned, the parliamentary allowance is paid to MPs when they carry out their mission in the country. Mr. Romanowski is not in the country, he will not be paid a parliamentary allowance – said the co-leader of the New Left.
As he said, when it comes to funds for his parliamentary office, work is underway to change the regulations so that the Marshal of the Sejm takes “responsibility for the employees and for this office.”
“Domański should not pay a penny to Law and Justice”
Czarzasty also referred to the discussion about money for Law and Justice.
National Electoral Commission accepted last week financial report of the PiS committeethus implementing the decision of the unrecognized Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the Supreme Court. On the same day, the head of the National Electoral Commission sent a letter to the Minister of Finance on this matter Andrzej Domańskiinforming that there is no longer any reason to cut subsidies to Law and Justice. However, it is not decided what the minister will do because – as the government and some experts emphasize – the chamber of the Supreme Court, which ordered the adoption of the report, is not a court, according to the opinion of European tribunals.
The TVN24 guest said that in the Left “we do not recognize neo-judges.” – Therefore, we, as the Left, consider all decisions that are currently being made in the Supreme Court with the participation of neo-judges to be ineffective and have legal defects – he emphasized.
– So you (Minister of Finance – ed.) Domański should not pay a penny to Law and Justice – said Czarzasty. – If I have to take responsibility for this as one of the four co-leaders of the coalition, I do. If I have to appear before the State Tribunal for this in the future, I will. If I have to get a penalty, I will get it, he said.
Czarzasty: Domański should not pay a penny to PiSTVN24
The Deputy Speaker of the Sejm said that for the same reason “he expressly opposes the idea of Marshal Hołownia regarding the recognition or non-recognition of the presidential elections by neo-judges.” – It cannot be that when a chamber composed of neo-judges decides, we do not recognize it, and if these neo-judges vote in body, i.e. in a 96-member court, we recognize it – he said. In his opinion, “it is not the case that in the morning a thief is a thief and in the evening he is not.”
This is a draft incidental act that was submitted to the Sejm by Poland 2050 and refers to the resolution by Supreme Court matters relating to this year's presidential elections. The project provides that the validity of these elections would be decided by three chambers of the Supreme Court: Criminal, Civil and Labor, and not the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the Supreme Court.
