Macierewicz is one step away from losing his immunity. From the podium about agents, Russian drones in the background

The Rules Committee is in favor of the Sejm agreeing to waive the immunity of PiS MP Antoni Macierewicz, said the committee's rapporteur, Maria Koźlakiewicz (KO), on Wednesday. This concerns a statement by a PiS MP in which he called the management of the Military Counterintelligence Service Russian agents.

On Wednesday, Maria Koźlakiewicz (KO) presented to the Sejm the report of the regulations, parliamentary affairs and immunity committee on the prosecutor's office's request for the Sejm to consent to bringing PiS MP Antoni Macierewicz to criminal liability. The committee requested the Sejm to consent to waiving the immunity of MP Macierewicz. Voting on the motion on Thursday.

She informed the Sejm about submitting a request to waive Macierewicz's immunity at the end of January this year. spokeswoman for the Prosecutor General, Anna Adamiak. As she said then, prosecutors want to accuse Macierewicz of having on September 11, 2025, during the Sejm session, “insulted public officials – the head of the Military Counterintelligence Service, Brig. Gen. Dr. Jarosław Stróżyk, and his deputies: Col. Krzysztof Dusza and Col. Artur Pluto – because of the positions they held – calling the indicated people Russian agents.”

Moreover – according to the statement – Macierewicz allegedly accused the SKW management of “cooperating with the Russian secret services, i.e. conduct that could humiliate them in public opinion and expose them to the loss of trust necessary to hold positions, thus acting to their detriment.”

Koźlakiewicz emphasized on Wednesday that the above-mentioned Sejm session took place at a time “when Russian drones flew over Polish airspace.” – Such statements addressed to persons performing key functions in the security system are of particular importance and require special responsibility – she argued.

The MP added that one of the defense arguments of Macierewicz and his representative was to point out that “in his statement he used the term 'SKW management' without giving specific names, so, as it was claimed, it is not clear to whom exactly these words referred.” – Many committee members found this argument unconvincing – she added.

Antoni Macierewicz was not present in the Sejm when the report of the Rules Committee was presented and did not exercise his right to speak.

However, at the committee meeting he said that he was surprised by the prosecutor's office's actions. – The essence of my statement from the point of view that is put forward here is that there is no name (…). And I am not mentioning any name because the problem is completely different than the one interpreted by the prosecutor's office, he noted. – The essence of the problem is the agreement that was concluded for cooperation with Russia – he added. He said that the prosecutor's allegations were irresponsible and of a political nature

Macierewicz's statements were made during the debate on the information presented to the Sejm by the Deputy Prime Minister and the head of the Ministry of National Defense, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, regarding the violation of Polish airspace by Russian drones.

The MP then said: “It was not an accident, it was not an ad hoc action, it was the beginning of the war. We can win this war, but if the leadership of the Military Counterintelligence Service still consists of Russian agents whom Mr. Donald Tusk appointed in 2011 (…)” – Macierewicz's words were recorded in the parliamentary transcript. This sentence was not completed because – as noted in the annotation in the transcript – it caused “a stir in the room.”

Macierewicz added: “now they are again the heads of the Military Counterintelligence Service, i.e. the formation that has the greatest knowledge about the army and knows the most about what the army implements.” “And these are people who cooperated with the Russian secret services. How long will you tolerate them? How long will you support them?” – Macierewicz's question was recorded in the transcript.

In the opinion of the prosecutor's office, “unfounded accusations of agent cooperation with the Russian Federation, formulated by the MP against the management of the Military Counterintelligence Service, clearly exceeded the limits of permissible criticism in public debate.” (PAP)
