“Poland’s Prosecutor General Adam Bodnar on Thursday requested that former Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki be stripped of his parliamentary immunity for abusing his powers by trying to organize an election during the pandemic. … The prosecution alleges that Morawiecki illegally tried to organize a mail-in presidential election in the spring of 2020 during the pandemic. He demanded that the post office and the state security printer prepare ballots although no law existed to allow such a request, costing the government more than 56 million złoty (€13 million). Prosecutors also argued that Morawiecki breached the electoral code and bypassed the State Electoral Commission and National Electoral Office, the only authorities tasked with organizing elections. If convicted, he faces up to three years in prison.” (01/16/25)
