Political Week Ahead: Government on Migration Strategy, Election Anniversary and Duda's Address, What Will Ziobro Do Regarding the Commission?

During Tuesday's government session, Donald Tusk is scheduled to present the so-called "migration strategy" – its assumptions were already criticized by Lewica over the weekend.

- If Adam Bodnar does not react to this and the wild idea of suspending human rights, guaranteed by conventions and the constitution, in the government session through a document titled "government strategy," I will be very surprised and disappointed – wrote Anna-Maria Żukowska on the X platform.

This week also marks the first anniversary of the parliamentary elections – some summary from the government can likely be expected.

President Duda certainly wants to summarize the political year, as he will speak in the Sejm on Wednesday. Meanwhile, a Sejm committee will return to considering the motion regarding the NBP President before the State Tribunal.
