LPR move to dismiss Borowski as Sejm speaker thrown out by parliament

Yesterday deputies rejected a resolution draft proposed by the Polish Family League (LPR) on the dismissal of Marek Borowski from his present position as Sejm speaker. During the debate on the draft, LPR's Krzysztof Filipek announced that his parliamentary club would vote against Borowski's dismissal since, just as with the dismissal of Self-Defense (Samoobrona)'s Andrzej Lepper as Deputy Speaker, it is unlawful. After the debate, at a meeting of the Samoobrona parliamentary club, Lepper decided that his club would vote in favor of the dismissal although it eventually did not participate in the vote, "Due to notorious law breaking by the Sejm, the Samoobrona parliamentary club is not going to participate in this chutzpa and is hereby leaving the debating room," said Lepper.
