The Pegasus Commission is a real circus. At 10:34 AM, they voted to penalize me for not appearing—yet they only summoned me for 2 PM! Political farce and legal incompetence. The Olsen Gang—wrote former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration, Maciej Wąsik, on social media.
This morning, Maciej Wąsik, former Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration, issued a statement announcing that he would not appear for the scheduled 10:30 AM hearing before the illegal Pegasus commission. During a five-minute session, the commission submitted a request to the court to penalize Wąsik.
“Unfortunately, it’s no surprise that yet another PiS politician hides behind a pseudo-verdict from a pseudo-tribunal, issued on political orders, and avoids accountability before the investigative commission,”
commented the commission’s deputy chairman, Tomasz Trela (New Left), regarding Wąsik’s absence.
Trela also submitted a motion—later approved by vote—for the commission to request that the Warsaw District Court impose a fine of 3,000 PLN on the PiS politician. He added that the commission would have to quickly schedule another hearing for the witness while also preparing for the possibility of initiating proceedings to detain and forcibly bring the MEP in, after first having his immunity lifted in the European Parliament.
Maciej Wąsik himself responded to the commission’s decision on social media.
