Hołownia:
I used the term "coup d'état" in "Gość Wydarzeń" not in a legal sense but as a political diagnosis, describing a situation of serious destabilization
I see there is a need, so I am explaining that I used the phrase "coup d'état" in yesterday's "Gość Wydarzeń," as I have many times before, not in a legal sense – which was clearly emphasized in the conversation – but as a political diagnosis, a description of a situation where there is serious destabilization of the state and undermining of democratic principles – writes Marshal Szymon Hołownia on Facebook.
"Since the second round of presidential elections won by Karol Nawrocki, expectations have repeatedly been formulated towards me in the public space not to recognize the voters' verdict, not to convene the National Assembly for the inauguration of the president-elect, or to obstruct by announcing breaks during the Assembly, calls to unconstitutionally seize presidential powers, or finally – to order new elections" – Hołownia continues.
"To all these suggestions, made public, I have responded unequivocally, and in accordance with the law: presidential elections are presumed valid, all cases of irregularities in the electoral process should be clarified through prosecutorial proceedings, there are no factual or legal grounds not to convene the National Assembly and not to administer the oath to the newly elected President of the Republic of Poland" – claims the Marshal of the Sejm in his post.
"The stability of state institutions, the continuity of power, and command over the Armed Forces are values that – especially in the current situation – must not be undermined, and I firmly oppose, and will continue to oppose, any attempts to question them, and thus destabilize the state, just like all leaders of the 15.X Coalition are unanimous on this matter. It has been almost two months since the presidential elections. I appeal to both sides of the political dispute, on the one hand, not to look for conspiracies where there are none, and on the other – not to undermine the democratic verdict of the voters, regardless of the emotions it evokes." – concludes Marshal Hołownia.
