Parliament rejected a confidence motion against Mariusz Błaszczak

Sejm (Polish parliament) rejected the censure motion against the Minister of the Interior and Administration Mariusz Błaszczak. 177 deputies voted for Mariusz Błaszczak's reference, including all present MPs of PO, Modern (Nowoczesna), PSL (Polskie Stronnictwo Ludowe), and four members from the right-wing Kukiz'15 party. 239 deputies voted against the request, including all present Law and Justice (PiS) MPs, six members of Kukiz'15 and two non-inscrits. 27 deputies abstained from voting. The request was submitted in February by the Civil Platform (PO), as a reaction to the turmoil in the Police Headquarters after the police chief Zbigniew Maj's dismissal, against whom the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau is conducting proceedings.
