A leaked note reveals a tense confrontation in the parliamentary restaurant between Łukasz Mejza and Wadim Tyszkiewicz, involving insults and alleged provocation.
Conflict in the parliamentary restaurant
A leaked note addressed to Senate Marshal Małgorzata Kidawa-Błońska details a heated altercation between PiS MP Łukasz Mejza and senator Wadim Tyszkiewicz in the parliamentary restaurant. According to Tyszkiewicz, Mejza insulted him and his wife with vulgar language and sexual innuendos, attempting to provoke him into striking first. The incident, witnessed by several MPs including Iwona Hartwich and Katarzyna Osos, occurred on April 24, 2025, with the Marshal’s Guard intervening. Tyszkiewicz claims Mejza faced no consequences.
Diverging accounts of the incident
Mejza acknowledges the altercation but presents a different version, stating Tyszkiewicz provoked him while he held a child. He alleges the senator’s actions stemmed from jealousy over his professional achievements. The MP’s statement, largely unquotable due to insults and health-related remarks about Tyszkiewicz, highlights long-standing tensions between the two, including past collaboration and escalating conflicts, particularly during election campaigns. Mejza claims Tyszkiewicz’s provocations, including spitting gestures, intensified over time. The case was referred to the Senate Marshal, but no further action has been taken.
Parliamentary complex as a hotspot for conflicts
This is not the first incident in the parliamentary complex. Recent months have seen several high-profile clashes involving lawmakers. In May, PiS MP Dariusz Matecki was allegedly assaulted by actor Jacek Kopczyński, who published a recording with vulgar insults. There have also been reports of noisy parties in the parliamentary hotel, including a high-profile gathering in April 2024 that required multiple interventions by the Marshal’s Guard and police. Mejza later defended the event in Parliament, calling it a cultural gathering upholding long-standing traditions.
