– Supporting electoral campaigns with events specified as festivals or another events financed outside the budget of the electoral committees has always taken place and the decision of the PKW will not halt this.
– It is very hard to objectively measure what actions have impacted the run and election outcome. Government activity during the run is besides electoral activity to the detriment of the opposition. And opposition activity is damaging the government. How do we measure the actions of the opposition calling for the blocking of EU funds, which had an impact on the result of the elections? However, the electoral code provides a pattern and it must be followed. The president of the Polish Stock Exchange stressed that the current resolutions on financial statements, even rejected, afraid formal matters. Now, as justice Martiniak said,: For the first time we are dealing with a resolution where substantive issues had to be defined. A certain "exploration" of explanation was so made, and that is not surprising, since PKW is the creation of the majority of the Sejm.
– Over fresh months, politicians of all options, but especially the Civic Coalition, have put media force on PKW.
– This is unacceptable, as are the public statements of various authorities, including the Prime Minister, as well as lawyers, that if the committee fails to consider something, it will be a scandal. But it must be remembered that the PiS itself prepared this fate, introducing politicians to the PKW. erstwhile the judges were in it, the hazard of political bias was less, and the credibility of decisions was greater. It is more hard to press the judges who hold a crucial degree of independency than politicians and academics, people whose destiny depends on whether the current parliamentary majority survives or not.
– There has never been specified hysteria around the PKW's decisions to grant the party.
– The political situation in our country has changed dramatically recently. There's a rule: either us or them. Therefore, all parties to the political dispute effort to usage all possible tools that only appear to destruct the opponent and in this fight the coalition has the advantage.
– It seems that a certain thin line has been crossed, and now anyone who wins the election does not necessarily should be a PiS, compared to their opponents will be able to usage different, not always legal, instruments.
– Probably. But I would like to draw attention to any of the automation that the current electoral code has created. PKW has no way of acting but to adopt a study or to deprive the organization or its electoral committee of part of the grant. This automation is frequently disproportionate to the situation. I will remind you that due to various details the anticipation of SLD, PSL, Modern was interfered with. It was close to the time erstwhile the grants lost the Law and Justice erstwhile a individual with a German surname made a deposit to the electoral fund in Berlin, but it turned out that he was a Polish citizen.
– Now PiS has 14 days to appeal the decision of the PKW to the Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs of the ultimate Court. The problem is that the ruling coalition, like the TEU, does not respect this home as a court, although it recognised its resolution on the validity of the elections of 15 October 2023.
– In my opinion, this Chamber is not a court in European matters, and it is simply a court in Polish matters. If it takes into account the cancellation of the Law and Justice, then there is simply a danger that the Minister of Finance will not take note of it and will not give the subsidy to the Law and Justice. However, this would be an excuse to competition the results of all subsequent elections.
