A group of individuals elected by the Sejm to the Constitutional Tribunal is being transported to the institution’s building using vehicles belonging to the Sejm Chancellery, which is allegedly unlawful.
“As an MP, I know that Sejm Chancellery cars cannot be used to transport anyone: assistants, family members, guests — absolutely no one. Today we have submitted an inquiry to the Sejm Chancellery on this matter,” said Agnieszka Wojciechowska van Heukelom, a Law and Justice (PiS) MP.
“Anti-judges” return to the Constitutional Tribunal building
This afternoon, a group of so-called “anti-judges” once again appeared at the Constitutional Tribunal building. The individuals elected to the Tribunal were again transported there in a vehicle belonging to the Sejm Chancellery. Details were provided by Agnieszka Wojciechowska van Heukelom, who carried out a parliamentary inspection at the Tribunal.
“It is worth asking why they are being transported in a parliamentary vehicle. As an MP, I know that Sejm Chancellery cars must not be used to transport anyone: assistants, family members, guests — absolutely no one. These individuals are neither MPs nor senators. Today we submitted an inquiry to the Sejm Chancellery on this matter,” she stated.
She added that, in her opinion, similar situations involving the “anti-judges” are likely to occur on a daily basis.
“Two of these individuals have not resigned from their positions in the courts, which precludes them from becoming Constitutional Tribunal judges. I am referring to Mr. Markiewicz and Ms. Korwin-Piotrowska. This is quite an interesting situation,” she noted.
Questions about costs and legality
The PiS MP also raised concerns about the costs of organizing the previous day’s “pseudo-oath” ceremony held at the Sejm.
“We should consider what the costs of this operation are and who covered the expenses of yesterday’s farce,” she said.
Wojciechowska van Heukelom also referred to notary Dariusz Kramarz, who actively participated in the event.
“If the word ‘before’ appears in a notarial deed, it still means ‘in the presence of’ someone. If a notary signed such a document containing that word, which was used during the oath, it means he certified an untruth and should face disciplinary consequences,” she concluded.
