PiS and PO clash over Constitutional changes
"PiS' approval for the introduction of amendments to the Constitution during this Sejm term depends on the acceptance of this bill," announced the party's parliamentary club leader, Przemysław Gosiewski.
In order to pass through the amendments also prepared by the Civic Platform (PO), 307 deputies will have to vote in favor, meaning that without the support of PiS this will not be possible.
PiS wants to introduce obligatory treatment of mentally ill people who are a threat to others, which would also relate to pedofiles. This came after PO announced plans to introduce chemical castration as a form of punishment for pedofiles.
The opposition party also demands opening up of the archives of the National Remembrance Institute (IPN). PO deputies fear, however, that PiS wants to block the changes in the constitution proposed by PO in order not to allow Poland to join the Euro zone.
