Michał Olech

- The National Electoral Commission (PKW) has decided to reject the financial report of the Law and Justice (PiS) Electoral Committee regarding its revenues, expenditures, and financial obligations, including bank loans obtained and the conditions for their acquisition in connection with participation in the elections to the Sejm of the Republic of Poland and the Senate of the Republic of Poland held on October 15, 2023, due to violations of Article 132 § 5 and Article 135 § 1 in conjunction with Article 199 § 1 and Article 259 § 1 of the Electoral Code - stated Sylwester Marciniak at a press briefing.

- The consequences are as follows: PiS, as a political party, obtained the largest number of mandates, and the subsidy for its electoral committee would have amounted to over PLN 38 million. However, due to exceeding the limit, where the PKW deemed it to be above 1%, this subsidy will be reduced by PLN 10 million, meaning it will amount to PLN 28 million. The consequences are more serious regarding the subsidy for the political party itself, as this party will be deprived of this subsidy for the next 3 years, provided that a complaint can be filed with the Supreme Court against this resolution within 14 days - informed the head of the PKW.
