Criminals banned from elections if amendment passed

One of these is an amendment to stop deputies with a criminal record running in an election. "If there is a wider agreement of the parliamentary club we will be able to introduce these changes," said the PiS club deputy head Jolanta Szczypińska. The parties with the largest number of convicted deputies is Self-Defense, with Renata Beger, Danuta Hojarska, the Łyżwiński couple, Janusz Maksymiuk and Andrzej Lepper all with court sentences. This amendment however is not a move against the party, claimed PiS representatives.
