Krzysztof Szczucki, a PiS member of parliament, announced in an interview with Polish news outlet wp.pl that Nawrocki will not appear before the Justice Committee to explain his purchase of an apartment in Gdańsk.
According to Szczucki, the committee established by the Sejm (the lower house of the Polish parliament) lacks the authority to address the financial disclosures of Nawrocki, a presidential candidate who currently serves as head of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN).
Public broadcaster Polish Radio's IAR news agency cites a comment from Jakub Rudnicki, an MP from the ruling Civil Coalition (KO), who believes Nawrocki is avoiding the committee because he has something to hide.
“Nawrocki is afraid of the truth and afraid of confrontation. I believe the whole of Poland deserves an apology from him, as this is pure evasion - following the doctrine of the ‘young wolves,’ where if you’re caught, you say it wasn’t your hand. It would be good for all of Poland to see this, but Nawrocki will keep running away,” Rudnicki said.
Just two days ago, Nawrocki declared he would fulfill his duties and appear before the committee. He may also be questioned by prosecutors, as two reports have been filed regarding possible criminal conduct in his acquisition of property in Gdańsk.
