The coalition fell short by 4 votes to pass the so-called "rescue" bill. Three MPs from Civic Coalition (KO) – Roman Giertych, Krzysztof Grabczuk, and Waldemar Sługocki – did not participate in the vote on the so-called "rescue" bill, even though Giertych was present in the chamber at the time.

Theoretically, it should have been easier for the coalition, as 14 MPs from the Law and Justice (PiS) party were absent. 24 MPs from the Polish People's Party (PSL) bloc voted with PiS, only 4 voted with the coalition, and 1 abstained. In total, 215 MPs voted "for," 218 voted against, and 2 abstained.
