In the Sejm, the motion to waive the immunity of Karol Nawrocki, president of the Institute of National Memory, began. It's the consequence of a controversial message that angered the community of uniformed pensioners. The issue becomes peculiarly crucial due to the fact that Nawrocki is 1 of the candidates in the upcoming presidential election.

Simon Holovnia, the talker of the Sejm, reported on many requests for the waiver of immunity that were received by the Rules of Procedure Committee. 1 of them is the proposal for Karol Nawrocki, made by the association of uniform pensioners. It is the message of the president of the IPN, who was found offensive.

Under the law, waiving the immunity of the head of the IPN requires the decision of the Sejm. Nawrocks, who have served since 2021, are subject to the same rules as Members. However, the issue of immunity is not only a formal issue – it can affect its image in the ongoing presidential campaign.

Will the issue of immunity affect the presidential election?

Karol Nawrocki is 1 of the candidates for the May 2025 presidential election. His opponents will include Rafał Trzaskowski (Citizen's Coalition), Sławomir Mentzen (Confederation) and Szymon Hołownia (Third Road).
