““We demand, above all, compliance with the law and a normal decision by the National Electoral Commission,” PiS MP Zbigniew Bogucki said on Telewizja wPoland. The politician was asked about tomorrow’s decision by the National Electoral Commission regarding the party’s financial report.
The PiS MP referred to the words of Marek Sawicki, who stated on Polish Radio’s Programme I that the media supporting the government were putting pressure on the National Electoral Commission regarding the electoral subsidy.
It is difficult to disagree with Marshal Marek Sawicki’s statement. Just remember today’s article in Onet, in which the journalists of this portal write that Donald Tusk and his ministers are demanding the withdrawal of subsidies. And these are budget funds that should have been transferred to PiS two months ago. What kind of democracy and rule of law is it if the executive branch has to demand such things from an independent body? You can answer this question yourself. Regardless of the decision taken tomorrow, PiS will continue to act, because this is our commitment to the more than 7 million voters who voted for us.
– Zbigniew Bogucki told television in Poland.

Decision of the National Electoral Commission
Zbigniew Bogucki recalled that Law and Justice’s financial statements received a positive opinion from an independent auditor.
The basic question is whether tomorrow’s decision will be consistent with the law and the 20-year-old case law of the National Electoral Commission and the Supreme Court. This is the most important thing, not whether some politicians will like this decision. The information from the experts of the National Electoral Office clearly indicates that, if we take into account the regulations in force today and the case law of the National Electoral Commission and the Supreme Court, there are no grounds for rejecting the PiS report on the last elections. This report was positively assessed by an independent auditor who clearly stated that there were no violations of the provisions of the Electoral Code.
– he added.
The politician emphasized that all parties should be equal before the law.
Firstly, we demand compliance with the law and a normal decision by the National Electoral Commission. From the point of view of the Electoral Code, all the matters now submitted to the National Electoral Commission have no significance for the analysis of our report. They can, of course, be investigated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Supreme Court of Auditors or the courts. However, it would only be possible to return to these matters after a final judicial decision.
Special team
Law and Justice created a special team to expose Civic Platform’s electoral violations.
We presented more than 40 examples of actions that should serve as a basis for questioning our financial report and withdrawing subsidies from PiS, and which were also supported by, for example, the Civic Platform. Then the report was approved, and in the case of PiS, this issue is still “stuck.”
– he said.
The deputy assured that PiS is prepared for any scenario.
Of course, we will use all legal instruments, including an appeal to the Supreme Court and civil liability for those responsible for a possible negative decision. This also applies to those who contributed to its postponement. If these instruments do not bring results, we, as a huge political environment with considerable party structures and many councillors throughout Poland, will not give up our weapons. We will look for other sources of funding. This will, of course, make our political activity more difficult, and we are not only the largest opposition party, but also the largest political party in Poland.
The case of Father Olszewski
Bogucki also commented on the issue of the temporary arrest of Father Michał Olszewski.
Suddenly, it turned out that there was new evidence and grounds for maintaining pre-trial detention. This seems very strange because the case has been going on for a long time. Father Olszewski has been in custody for a long time, so the court decided that he should be released. Suddenly, the public prosecutor finds some supposedly new evidence and circumstances that would justify maintaining pre-trial detention. This situation is strange if we consider that the entire case is based on documentary evidence. This is material that is still in the possession of the public prosecutor and over which he has no way of influencing – the fear of tampering is therefore low.
– he concluded.
