Mr Błaszczak had previously dealt with the Sejm in a secret sitting. The motion went to the Sejm in early February.
The Prosecutor's Office wants to press charges against Błaszczak regarding the fact that as head of MON he declassified in July 2023 and publically revealed in September 2023 fragments of the Polish Armed Forces' Plan of usage WARTA-00101. The plan is simply a 2011 paper on how to defend against possible Russian attack. citing this document, Błaszczak then accused PO politicians that during their time of regulation they planned to defend the state on the Vistula line in the event of an invasion and to “give the attacker half of the country”. The territory Attorney's Office in Warsaw is investigating this case.
The Sejm agreed on Thursday to detain and temporarily arrest PiS MP Dariusz Matecki. The D.A.'s motion is linked to the Justice Fund investigation. Earlier on Wednesday evening, Matecki himself waived immunity in this case. 240 Members voted in favour of agreeing to detain and temporarily arrest Mr Matecki, 199 against, and no 1 abstained.
The request of the National Prosecutor's Office to waive Matecki's immunity and to consent to his detention and arrest was linked to the investigation of the Justice Fund. According to investigators, Matecki participated in setting competitions for grants from the FS and bringing public money to associated organizations – the Fidei Defensor Association and the wellness Friends Association, as well as suspected that his employment at the State Forests Directorate in Szczecin from 2020 to 1923 was fictional. In total, the D.A. suspects a associate to commit six criminal offences at hazard of imprisonment for up to 10 years.
On Wednesday evening, the MP reported that he himself waived immunity. In specified a situation, the formal correctness of the Member's declaration of waiver of immunity shall be assessed by the Sejm's Rules of Procedure, Members' Affairs and Immunities Committee, which, on Thursday morning, declared Matecki's declaration to be gathering the "formal correctness requirements". The opinion of the committee on the substance will go to the talker of the Sejm, who will then inform the prosecutor that the associate is not protected by immunity. Regardless of the fact that after Matecki's waiver of immunity, the vote on the waiver of immunity became irrelevant, the Sejm had to vote on the consent to detention and temporary arrest of a associate in connection with the matter.
