A PiS press conference on 31 October turned into a heated exchange over alleged illicit campaign support, leading MP Mariusz Błaszczak to step in.
Press Conference Turns Foul Play Allegations
During the PiS press conference held on 31 October, a TVN journalist raised questions about the use of fruit bags purchased from Dawtona during the party’s campaign and whether those bags were linked to the “Campus Poland Rafał Trzaskowski” project.
MP Jan Kanthak Takes the Floor
MP Jan Kanthak answered the questions, noting that the fruit bags were used carefully at the campus and asking whether the reporters were monitoring the group because they had received campaign funds. He also referenced the sale of a plot of land, describing how the party had not reacted during a five‑year period in which the land could be reacquired.
Błaszczak Intervenes on Legal Grounds
MP Mariusz Błaszczak stepped in, criticizing PiS’s approach to the controversy and announcing the suspension of MPs pending clarification of the matter. He cited that the treasury had the right to reclaim the land at the 2023 price and questioned how the party could claim no action was taken, while also refocusing on the “tubes” accusation.
Questions About Zbigniew Ziobro Raise More Chaos
A subsequent question about Zbigniew Ziobro’s possible impeachment attempt was interrupted by MP Jacek Ozdoba, who refused to continue. Błaszczak then described the situation as chaotic, describing accusations against Ziobro as “absurd” and linked discussions to financial claims involving 14 million złoty allocated to the National Prosecutor’s Office.
