The President met today with Sejm Marshal Elżbieta Witek and, in a phone call, invited Senate Marshal Tomasz Grodzki for a conversation tomorrow at 11 AM – 300POLITYKA has learned.

According to 300POLITYKA's interlocutors from the Presidential Palace, President Duda wants to get involved to ensure the parliamentary passage of new electoral law occurs under conditions of the broadest possible – as our source puts it – model political consensus.

Our sources indicate that the President urged the Sejm Marshal to create conditions for this in the Sejm's work on a draft law adapting electoral law to the new situation, so that the eventual presidential election outcome would not be questioned by any side.

The President also highlights the necessity of leaving the Supreme Court sufficient time to consider electoral protests, to avoid the court being under time pressure – with the current term expiring on August 6th.

Even before the meeting at the President's, an unprecedented willingness was evident from the presiding Marshal to give greater consideration to opposition proposals. Despite the chamber rejecting Sławomir Nitras's motion for a half-hour break in proceedings to review an amendment submitted by the proponents, the Marshal announced a one-hour break, which she further extended due to the meeting with the head of state.
