The session of the first session of the fresh Sejm word began with singing the anthem and message of president Andrzej Duda. The president one more time thanked Poles for their advanced attendance. ‘21,966,891 people. precisely so many Polish citizens voted in the elections on October 15. Electoral turnout reached over 74 percent. It's a large deal. This is simply a large success of Polish democracy. I thank everyone who took part in the parliamentary elections. Democracy in Poland has never been so strong” – we heard from the speaker.
It wasn't without a small controversy and a distraction. Henry's MP Krzywonos (Citizen's Coalition) proceeding the President's words stood back to him to show that for her, Andrzej Duda is “a liar.”
Bravo. Organisation The Sejm elected the marshal:

The president then stressed his willingness to cooperate with the fresh parliament. A declaration of willingness to build a “coalition of Polish affairs” came from the parliament’s speaker. It's not the first time that Andrzej Duda utilized that term. Interestingly, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki returned to this slogan later. It became clear that it would be a lock for cooperation between the PiS and the PSL. Not long ago Morawiecki even declared that for the sake of specified a coalition he would be able to hide his ambitions in his pocket and become minister in the government of Władysław Kosiniak-Kamish. As he showed the following course of the day, it was a cry in the wilderness, as the PSL prefers to make a future government with the civilian Coalition, Poland 2050 and the Left.
Marek Sawicki appointed as elder Marshal
Marek Sawicki then took over the baton, who – although not the oldest associate in this parliamentary word – was called up as the elder marshal. The most crucial point at this point was the resignation of the government of Mateusz Morawiecki. The outgoing Prime Minister took the chance to present a "short panorama of what was done". Because, contrary to this announcement, Morawiecki frequently referred to the future and talked about what to do in Poland, Marek Sawicki warned him that "there would be inactive time for an expedition".

It is worth reminding that from now on Mateusz Morawiecki will have 2 weeks to present the program of his government to the Sejm. However, he will surely not receive a vote of assurance and then another candidate for Prime Minister will be elected in a parliamentary vote.
Simon Holovnia became the talker of the Sejm
The next item was the election of the talker of the Sejm. It was Simon Holovnia. erstwhile tv presenter most likely defeated his counter-candidacy – Elżbieta Witek from PiS. In his short speech, Szymon Hołownia promised that the freezer would vanish from the marshal's office and a police barrier would vanish from the building of the Sejm. Angry say that this is how Simon Holovnia starts the race for the presidential seat in 2025. As talker of the Sejm, it will have superb airtime, which will be hard for another candidates. This would be confirmed by Simon Holownia, who announced "the beginning of a podcast to which he would invitation politicians of different options."
Red card for Elizabeth Witek
In the afternoon, erstwhile the Senators were sworn in, the Sejm returned to vote on the Vice Marshals of this Chamber. This was by far the most burning point of today. While the candidates submitted by the Civic Coalitions of PSL and Lewica were not controversial, the candidates submitted by the Law and the Confederacy raised attention.
It's about Elizabeth Witek and Krzysztof Bosak. The attack on the erstwhile talker of the Sejm began by Boris Budka (Citizen's Coalition), who said that his club would support only those candidates for deputy marshals who "respect the simple principles of parliamentaryism". He was told by PSL MPs – they reminded that in 2015 they were denied the right to own their own Deputy Marshal arguing that the PSL club was simply besides small. And although both clubs requested that there were six deputy marshals in this parliamentary term, Elizabeth Witek's candidacy stood under a immense question mark.
Eventually, Elizabeth Witek died receiving only 203 votes out of 230 needed to become Deputy Marshal of the Sejm. As the vote ended, fewer people realized what the consequences would be. There have been cases in past before erstwhile the Sejm rejected the candidacy of any deputy marshal, and the club reported another candidacy. This time – for the first time in the past of the 3rd Polish – the club decided that if his candidacy was rejected, he would not study anyone else. Jarosław Kaczyński presented a firm attitude on this matter, which clearly did not have a good day present – he was late for swearing in, and on the seismic corridor he was primarily focused on insulting Donald Tusk.
