President begins consultations over vetting law

"We have to consider whether we should write a new bill or amend the current one. And if we decide to draft a new one, how should it be written so that the Tribunal would not question it," said Law and Justice (PiS) secretary general Joachim Grudzinski. Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski supports the idea to open the National Remembrance Institute (IPN) archives to all, however, PiS is against revealing sensitive data. Not waiting for the outcome of the consultations, a draft bill regarding this issue was submitted by the League of Polish Families (LPR) yesterday. LPR demands opening the archives including the sensitive data. Today or tomorrow Self-Defense will submit its own proposition. Self-Defense supports the idea of opening the archives related to people holding public posts. The Civic Platform (PO) is awaiting the meeting with the President in order to present its own concepts.
