“The Senate will address the anti-crisis package as swiftly as possible. Even in special circumstances – or perhaps especially in such circumstances – it is required that voters can familiarize themselves with what they will be voting on. To date, we have no trace of documents from the Sejm, and from the information reaching me, it appears that these several hundred pages of documents are not even ready to be transmitted to the Senate yet,” wrote Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki in a statement.

“Treating the Senate as a voting machine demonstrates a lack of respect not only for the rules of democracy and parliamentary principles, but also for our fellow citizens, whom these solutions are intended to affect. They are waiting for good law, not for law passed hastily,” he wrote in the statement.

“I remind you that the Senate’s anti-crisis package bill has been lying in the Sejm for two weeks – the Senate adopted it on March 13th and immediately sent it to the Sejm. This time has been wasted instead of helping entrepreneurs, parents, and healthcare, for whom we proposed concrete solutions,” Grodzki added.
