Tusk admonishes KO MPs after vote on Lex Czarnek 2.0. “Who doesn’t vote doesn’t show up”
In Thursday’s vote, seven PiS deputies and several pro-United Right parliamentarians, such as Paweł Kukiz and Łukasz Mejza, were absent. In addition, six opposition deputies, including three representatives of the Civic Coalition, did not take part in the vote.
Right after my return to Polish politics, I told the deputies and deputies of the Civic Coalition and my party, Platforma Obywatelska, that discipline comes from these exams, tests that they must pass to convince the Poles that they govern better. It is impossible for someone not to vote this way as a matter of principle. It’s work, it’s an official duty, but also civic responsibility and measurable things like Lex Czarnek
said Donald DefenseQuoted by polsatnews.pl. He repeated that “he who does not vote does not show up”. The president of the PO underlined that the absence at the meetings of the Seym can only be justified by a very clear reason, such as a stay in the hospital.
If someone does not vote and has a bad explanation for this fact, he will simply no longer be in the Polish parliament, and I can tell you that here. Those who know me know that I’m going to be very consistent here
said the former prime minister.
