As we reported on 300POLITYCE, Sejm Presidium and the Convention of Seniors meetings have been convened for 13:00 and 13:30 respectively, the last ones to be led by Marek Kuchciński. During the Presidium meeting - as Ryszard Terlecki stated - the current Marshal of the Sejm will submit his resignation, and then, at 15:00, a Sejm session will commence where the chamber will elect a new Marshal. Today, PiS is expected to present its candidate for this position. Furthermore, Marek Kuchciński celebrates his birthday today.

A debate on the dismissal of Marek Kuchciński was scheduled for 19:00, but the PO-KO motion will become irrelevant following his resignation. According to the current version of the schedule, a voting block is planned for 20:00, but after the aforementioned motion is withdrawn, changes can be anticipated.

Also today, PiS is set to present its full electoral lists, as announced yesterday by Jarosław Sellin. "It appears so, that this information will be published exactly tomorrow, how our lists, the United Right's, will look. The top candidates are already known, whereas the full lists will be published tomorrow [on Friday]," the Deputy Minister of Culture said on Radio Gdańsk.

At 10:00, a verdict will be announced in the case of Róża Thun vs Ryszard Czarnecki. "Will the judge rule that the Member of Parliament violated the personal rights of the Member of the European Parliament? What is the boundary of political struggle in Poland? The Member of the European Parliament will be present during the announcement of the verdict," announced the Member of Parliament's parliamentary office.

At 12:00, a press conference will be held in the Sejm concerning the formation of Piotr Liroya-Marca's new parliamentary club.
