Sejm is Not a Meat Grinder, a Government Service Point. Hołownia Announces Limits on Shortening Procedural Deadlines

Michał Olech

- There are a lot of shortenings of procedural deadlines in this Sejm. I am allowing such a situation for the last time. I also want to say very clearly that, of course, I am happy that we are dealing with such a, one could say, legislative offensive by the government, that within two months or a month and a bit, we receive almost 50 draft laws, but it cannot look like this in the future - stated Szymon Hołownia at a press briefing in the Sejm.

- Therefore, I have already spoken with Minister Berek, who is responsible for legislation in the government, and I informed him that from January, I will allow one shortening of deadlines in important matters - he continued.

- We must be faithful to what we ourselves have said. The law-making process in Poland must look different than during the PiS government. The Sejm is not a meat grinder, a government service point. It is a place where law is forged, where discussion takes place. We deliberately extended the procedures, not to shorten them - emphasized the Marshal of the Sejm.
