Lawyer penalized for telling Rywin Commission the truth under oath

Bożena Szumielewicz, the lawyer in the Government Legislation Center (RCL), who revealed to the Sejm Commission investigating the Rywin affair, the shenanigans of high officials while they were writing the media bill, has been crossed off the list of those who will receive quarterly financial bonuses. Aleksander Proksa, the head of the RCL, who was mentioned in Szumielewicz's testimony, made this decision. However, he did not want to reveal his reasons for doing so. Today in the Sejm, the head of the Prime Minister's Office Marek Wagner, is to defend Proksa's decision. Aleksandra Jakubowska blamed the RCL for mistakes in the legislation procedures in the media bill by not adding the words "or magazines". Aleksander Proksa, who did not want to oppose her, said that Szumielewicz was the person responsible for making this mistake. However, the current investigation is rather expecting the guilty among Aleksandra Jakubowska and Włodzimierz Czarzasty. (Gazeta Wyborcza, pp. 1, 6) A.K.
