Sejm votes for the deletion of the provisions on the so-called impunity

With one vote, the Sejm approved the Senate's amendment, which deleted the provisions on the so-called impunity. For their deletion, among others, MPs from KO, KP-PSL, Left, Poland 2050, and the Confederation, and three MPs from the PiS club. Paweł Kukiz (Kukiz'15) abstained from voting.

The provision on the so-called administrative impunity would be decriminalized by breaking the discipline of public finances and exceeding powers, if the perpetrator, including a local government official, committed such an act, acting in order to, inter alia, protect the life or health of many people or protect public safety during the war against Poland, or in military operations or occupation on the territory of the Republic of Poland, EU, NATO or other states bordering Poland. In the case of entrepreneurs, this would apply to mismanagement during the war, but also to the time in Poland, inter alia, state of emergency, state of epidemic threat, or state of the epidemic.

The law on assistance to Ukrainian citizens in connection with an armed conflict in the territory of that state guarantees, inter alia, the legality of stay for Ukrainian citizens, as well as their spouses without Ukrainian citizenship, who came from Ukraine to Poland from the beginning of the Russian invasion.
