Wednesday's Political Agenda: Sejm Debates 'Pekaes' Bill and Potential Criminal Code Changes, Amber Gold Commission's Final Report, and President Duda in Myślenice

The Sejm's session, scheduled for three days, will commence at 10:00. During this session, MPs will address the government's so-called 'Pekaes' bill (at the beginning of the session), the Kukiz'15 bill on protecting the property of the Republic of Poland against claims concerning escheated property (at 16:30), and most likely, amendments to the Criminal Code related to the prosecution of pedophilia (the time for consideration is not yet known; the bill has been sent for its first reading).

At 9:00, in front of the Sejm, there will be a "ceremonial launch of the first bus from the program announced as part of 'Kaczyński's Fifth'," led by Adrian Zandberg. After the bus departs, a commentary on the assumptions of "lex PKS" and a presentation of Lewica Razem's transport program proposals are planned.

At 10:15, the Sejm's investigative commission on Amber Gold will hold a meeting, where its chair, Małgorzata Wassermann, is expected to present her version of the team's final report. At 14:00, the investigative commission on VAT will interrogate Karol Jęny, a former permanent advisor to the "Friendly State" extraordinary commission on matters related to bureaucracy reduction.

The President of the Czech Senate will be visiting Poland. At 9:00, he will meet with Marshal Stanisław Karczewski (briefing at 9:40), at noon with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, and at 15:00 with Marshal Marek Kuchciński.

President Andrzej Duda will visit Myślenice in the Lesser Poland Voivodeship, where at 17:00 he will meet with residents of the Myślenice poviat.
