Sejm Marshal Szymon Hołownia convened a national assembly to the President of the Republic of Poland on August 6, Karol Nawrocki would be sworn in.
On Friday, Hołownia reported that he received a proposal to delay the swearing in, which he called attempts at the coup. – I have been offered many times if I was suggested, I was asked if I was ready to carry out a “coup d'état”, Because it boils down – said Hołownia in Polsat News. “It was testing what I would do,” he added.
– I am talking about the “coup d'état”, meaning the situation in which the president was elected, and I say: I do not like this president, maybe I will not swear him, I will walk with the president, because they were such concepts – explained Hołownia. He also assessed that by establishing the National Assembly “we avoided the collapse of the state.”
Hołownia, asked who made the mentioned proposal refused to mention the names. However, he mentioned politicians, lawyers and people who “did not like the result of the presidential election”.
The Marshal of the Sejm, when asked whether during a meeting with coalition leaders, he was asked by Donald Tusk about the possibility of postponing the deadline for the swearing in Nawrocki, confirmed that the head of government actually raised this topic. – We had a conversation about this in the group of leaders (…). This question was asked from Prime Minister Tusk: “Gentlemen, there are such voices, what do we do?” – Hołownia said.
He emphasized, however, that each of the leaders of the ruling coalition was against this idea, and the prime minister did not raise this topic later. – We had a uniform opinion on this issue and, I must say that we agreed with other coalition leaders in one hundred percent – noted the Speaker of the Sejm.
