Sejm publishes deputies' travel data

Upon request by the Speaker of the Sejm Radosław Sikorski, information about trips taken by deputies has been published. This information follows a scandal where deputies were caught abusing their travel privileges in a trip to Madrid, Spain. IAR reported on many of the destinations of deputies' travels. These included parliamentary European council meetings, as well as meetings with the Polish diaspora and OSCE events. The list of travels included such destinations as Kampala, Johannesburg, Mexico City, Addis Ababa, Abudja and Lusaka, as well as a visit to the European Space Agency's rocket launch in the French Guyana. The most expensive trip cost the taxpayers PLN 27,000 and it was undertaken by Adam Szejnfeld to Mexico in 2012. One deputy amassed a bill of PLN 320,000 in travel receipts over one year. The recent "car travel" scandal includes deputies Adam Hofman, Adam Rogacki and Mariusz Antoni Kamiński.
