Proposed screening bill envisages stricter order and procedures for perjury

The new bill on screening proposed by Freedom Union (UW) envisages stricter procedures. The screening order cannot be chosen arbitrarily, but people holding the highest positions, i.e. the President, members of government, deputies and senators should be screened first. The bill also provides that screening perjury can be declared only after a case has passed all levels of appeal, including the Supreme Court. Currently, the first level of appeal is sufficient for declaring perjury. (Gazeta Wyborcza, p.4)
