- I have issued an order regarding the establishment of a commission to investigate Russian and Belarusian influence on the internal security and interests of the Republic of Poland between 2004 and 2024. The chairman, the head of this commission, will be the head of the Military Counterintelligence Service, General Jarosław Stróżyk, upon the motion of the Minister of Justice, who is the minister responsible for this commission - Prime Minister Donald Tusk said at a press conference. - In his rich career, he has been a diplomat, a military officer, a military commander, deputy head of NATO intelligence, and also a scientist, a doctor of security sciences, a highly competent individual. His task will be to coordinate the commission, which will consist of 9 to 13 participants – a final decision on this will be made next week. Candidates for the commission will be recommended by the minister responsible for internal affairs and coordination of special services, meaning Minister Tomasz Siemoniak will recommend two individuals for this commission, the Minister of National Defence, the minister responsible for culture and national heritage [...] we will also want to examine potential influence on the media. [...] The Minister of Finance, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, state assets and informatization - he continued. - I will be expecting the first report certainly after the elections, so as not to mix the commission's work with the election campaign. [...] These will not be media interrogations; there will be no media present during the commission's work. However, we will systematically inform about the results of the commission's work. In the summer, we will have the first partial report. I hope that by the end of the year, most of the matters that have agitated public opinion in recent years and were related to almost mysterious circumstances [...] will find their description, not necessarily an explanation, because this is not an investigative committee [...] the likely outcome of this commission's work will be referrals to the prosecutor's office and opinions on why these matters were not investigated in previous years, regardless of which government was in power at the time - he further stated.
