Deputy talker of the Sejm Piotr Zgorzelski of PSL On 21 September, he attacked Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz sharply and suggested that she leave the government. The dispute broke out after the vote was taken by a task limiting advertising and nightly selling of alcohol. alternatively of deciding on an crucial social issue, Poles saw another disturbance within the coalition.
The task disappeared before the vote
The parliament was scheduled to vote on Friday 18 September on changes in the regulations on selling and advertising alcohol. The task provided for a nationwide ban on the sale of alcohol from 22.00 to 6.00 p.m., with the exception of catering establishments and airports, as well as a ban on advertising and promotion of all alcoholic beverages. Official Charter of the Legislative Process points out that the projects in print Nos 2007 and 2010 were jointly considered.
Regulation was not a trivial declaration. Financial penalties ranging from PLN 30 1000 to PLN 1 million or the punishment of restrictions on freedom were to be threatened for violating fresh bans. With specified serious sanctions, it was the work of Members to give precise reasons for the rules, to examine the amendments calmly and to vote clearly for which each club would be politically responsible.
However, there was no vote. talker of the Sejm Vladimir Czarzasty removed the draft from the agenda at the request of the PSL. According to the information cited by the WP News and another folk media, they tabled amendments to the wine industry. Their adoption would require EU notification and could importantly hold further work.
Pełczyńska-Nałęcz accuses, Zgorzelski answers
Katarzyna Pełczyńska-Nałęcz wrote that the task had previously passed through the committee in agreement over the divisions, then disappeared from the voting plan after the PSL intervention. The leader of Poland 2050 suggested that the lobby was concerned, and requested the return of the bill already at the next session of the Sejm. However, it did not supply evidence to identify a circumstantial interest group as the perpetrator of that decision.
Piotr Zgorzelski responded in Polsat News without diplomatic cover. He said that he had “somewhere” expectations of Pełczyńska-Nałęcz, accused her of damaging the coalition and declared that Poland 2050 should send another individual to the government. He supported Simon Holovnia in his interior conflict for leadership in the group. This is an crucial context, due to the fact that Pełczyńska-Nałęcz's relations with Hołownia have already generated political speculation.
Coalition busy with itself
The point of this case is not the language of 1 tv speech. It is about the way in which we regulate and work towards citizens. The task may rise legitimate questions about economical freedom, proportionality of penalties and the scope of state interference. However, these doubts should be raised openly, with concrete arguments and then settled in a vote.
Instead, the rulers moved the dispute to the level of individual attacks and organization games. The PSL had already tried to distance itself from the political course of a larger coalition, and Poland 2050 is increasingly pushing on its own government. specified a deal does not give citizens clear law or the feeling that the state is in control of its own legislative process.
The stakes for Poles are specific. Abuse of alcohol generates wellness and household costs, and overly restrictive law can hit honest entrepreneurs. The state should weigh both rations in an open debate. If the coalition hides the decision alternatively and throws public lashes, it shows the weakness of power. Poland needs a government capable of making decisions, not a collection of parties engaged in common discipline.
