– Today, I filed a lawsuit under election law against Sławomir Mentzen’s election committee, concerning his statement during the last Sejm session where he accused me of inviting illegal migrants to the Polish Sejm – Szymon Hołownia said at a press conference.

– This is a lie from beginning to end. We have meticulously verified all invitations and individuals who participated in the Christmas Eve for people in crisis, which I organized two months after becoming Marshal, because it’s my custom. In the first year, there was a Christmas Eve for people in crisis, there were homeless individuals, people with disabilities, sick people, and people with migration experience – he continued.

– I believe that the Sejm should be a place, and the Marshal of the Sejm should be a state official, who opens the Sejm to the most needy among us, and I will not allow any political liar to tarnish this idea. I state clearly and unequivocally: the Sejm is a place open to all who are legally residing in Poland, who wish to be present in the Sejm of the Republic of Poland – he went on to say.

– I will not allow anyone to lie with impunity, neither about myself, nor about the guests of the Sejm, nor about the Sejm of the Republic of Poland itself. Because the proceedings are under election law, I believe you can expect a swift resolution to this matter – he added.
