MP Girzyński leaves Law and Justice

Zbigniew Girzyński, a member of parliament from main opposition party Law and Justice, has announced his decision to leave the grouping. “In connection with doubts that may have risen in connection with my official travels I would like to announce that today I have resigned from membership in Law and Justice and its parliamentary caucus,” he wrote on his official Facebook site. The statement comes after controversy related to official travels by two other MPs from Law and Justice who received money for car trips and then flew by budget airlines. They were thrown out of the party. After that incident, Sejm speaker Radosław Sikorski asked for an audit of MPs’ travels.
