Vote on Motion to Dismiss Sejm Marshal This Friday or Next Tuesday

Next Tuesday, MPs will have to come to Wiejska Street once again – 300POLITYKA has learned unofficially. The chamber's leadership plans to continue the session that began today next week.

MPs must consider the motion to dismiss the Sejm Marshal, which Civic Platform submitted after revelations about Marshal Marek Kuchciński's flights with his family on government planes. According to the Sejm's Rules of Procedure, such a motion is put to a vote at the nearest session – no earlier than 7 days after its submission and no later than 45 days.

Since Civic Platform sent the documents at the end of last week, the Sejm had no opportunity to address the marshal's resignation at today's session. Nor could it have done so at the first post-recess session (September 11-13), as it would have already been past the regulatory deadline.

The Senior Council will discuss the extension of the session until next Tuesday today.

UPDATE: This coming Friday is also emerging as a possible date for considering the opposition's motion to dismiss the Sejm Marshal. Civic Platform's motion was received last Friday, making this coming Friday the earliest possible date.
