Michał Lubowicki

The Sejm will resume its session at 9:00 AM with a series of questions on current affairs, and at 11:15 AM, at the request of Civic Coalition (KO), it will hear a current information update on the "Youth Diagnosis 2026" report.

At 12:45 PM, the second reading of the proposed amendment to the Electoral Code authored by KO will commence. Subsequently, at 2:00 PM, the second reading of the proposed changes to the Sejm's Standing Orders, presented by the Sejm Presidium, is scheduled. These changes concern the rules for taking the floor during Sejm sessions.

According to the proposed amendments, only the Prime Minister will be allowed to speak from the rostrum at any point during the deliberations. The Marshal of the Sejm may grant speaking rights out of turn to the President of the Supreme Audit Office (NIK) and the Head of the President's Chancellery, but no more than once on a given agenda item. The authors claim the project aims to streamline session proceedings; PiS, on the other hand, has dubbed the project "lex Bogucki.".

Later, at 4:45 PM, the Sejm will hear the report of the Extraordinary Committee regarding the President's veto of the amendment to the Code of Criminal Procedure. This amendment concerned the application of temporary arrest and issues related to the use of illegally obtained evidence, known as the "fruit of the poisonous tree." The Marshal of the Sejm has announced a vote on this matter for Friday.

At 1:00 PM, in the Column Hall, the Parliamentary Team for Counteracting Lawlessness, composed of PiS MPs, will hold a session discussing the "paedophilia-bestiality scandal in Civic Coalition.".

At 9:30 AM, at the Polish Army Museum, Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz and the Mayor of Chełm, Jakub Banaszek, will sign a letter of intent concerning the establishment and construction of the Museum of Memory of the Victims of the Volhynia Massacre. Statements for the media are planned.

Later, at 2:00 PM, the Minister of National Defence will meet with Martin Pfister, the Head of the Swiss Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sport. Following the "one-on-one" talks, a joint press conference is scheduled for approximately 3:10 PM.
