Mec. Rosati on Adam Bodnar's election movement. ‘Too late’

Up to 3 years in prison. specified punishment is provided for in the law for committing a crime against elections. That's right. Whether specified a breach of law has occurred will be investigated by a peculiar squad at the National Prosecutor's Office, appointed by Adam Bodnar.

He will check the results of the vote with 296 committees where irregularities may have occurred connected, for example, with the transmission of votes cast on Rafał Trzaskowski to his rival Karol Nawrocki.

The problem is, this prosecutor's squad didn't start until Monday, June 30. A The validity of the elections will be announced by the ultimate Court on 1 July.

– It is amazing that, knowing the terms of the electoral code and having the tools to gather evidence that could support electoral protests, lawyer General Adam Bodnar decides to act so lateande – tells Onet the president of the Chief Bar Council, Przemysław Rosati.

– We're at a point where, in real terms, the collection of evidence by the prosecution, even if they confirmed the irregularities, cannot be utilized by the ultimate Court due to the fact that it will be past the deadline establishing the validity of the elections – emphasises the lawyer.

– These actions, which Adam Bodnar is taking today, should be done immediately, moments after the prosecution received information about irregularities in individual committees. – points to Mr. Rosati.

What can the DA do?

— The prosecution's investigation is aimed at verifying whether a crime has been committed against elections during the election. The point is to determine, whether there has been an abuse of votes or not, and if so whether it has been intentionally and whether work for this circumstantial situation can be attributed to the individualised person – says Mr. Rosati.

— If specified arrangements are made, This is the basis for the plea and for bringing the indictment to court “ he explains. — The material collected in specified an investigation, which includes checking nearly 300 voting protocols, can besides be utilized as evidence before the ultimate Court to show the legitimacy of the electoral protest. However, realistically assessing the situation, It's besides late for that to happen. He has been for this virtually all period – summarizes Mr Rosati.

What about the importance of the election?

There is no silence in controversy over irregularities in election committees during the 2nd circular of presidential elections. After the authoritative election results were announced, there were voices pointing to irregularities in any election committees.

Cases where one candidate in the second circular did not gain almost any fresh votes compared to the first roundand even received less. These situations raised suspicions about the accuracy of the results given.

— We surely do not have all the electoral protests examined and this has not been done properly, fully. But I think it's far-reaching to say that elections are expected to be irrelevant. Especially since there is simply a constitutional presumption of the validity of elections. We are dealing with a situation in which, first, the incorrect authority should regulation and, second, all electoral protests are not considered. I so wonder how to put this in the final speech on 1 July — said Adam Bodnar in a Monday interview with Money.pl.
