On 15 Oct, Sejm reporters asked Kaczyński to apologise for placing Łukasz Mejza on the election list; the baritone’s 200 km/h dash and subsequent fine denial prompted an ethics‑committee review.
Kaczyński Admits Mistake, Orders Ethics Inquiry

On 14 Oct, RMF FM police halted Mejza on the S3 expressway for driving 200 km/h, far above the 120 km/h limit. He was offered a 2,500 zł fine.
Mejza Claims Immunity, Vows No Repeat
