He emphasized that he would not repeat previous experiences, reiterating, &#8220;Either it will be hard, or it will be without me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h4>Shifting Perspectives on the Union<\/h4>\n<p>Jaki\u2019s current stance contrasts with comments he made two years ago, when he argued that Poland should fight for its place in the EU, describing the bloc as heading in the wrong direction at the time. He previously maintained that Poland is a vital part of Europe, both historically and factually.<\/p>\n<p>The MEP now views the future through a different lens, noting that the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) group is growing. He suggested that if the right wing gains momentum across Europe, the political situation will shift, creating a blocking minority.<\/p>\n<h4>Legal Challenges and Immunity Risk<\/h4>\n<p>Jaki is currently facing the potential lifting of his parliamentary immunity. On June 2, the Prosecutor General submitted a request to the European Parliament for consent to hold the MEP criminally liable and for his detention and forced appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators allege that Jaki exceeded his authority and failed to fulfill his duties while serving as Secretary of State in the Ministry of Justice. Evidence suggests he made personnel decisions without statutory justification, resulting in an unauthorized promotion and salary increase for an official within the Prison Service.<\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PiS MEP Patryk Jaki stated on Polsat News that he will quit politics if his party does not maintain a &#8220;hard course&#8221; regarding the European Union, following reports of his potential immunity waiver.
