They want to take away the presidential candidate's immunity

 The Marshal of the Sejm confirmed at a press conference that the Sejm Committee on Rules, Deputies' Affairs and Immunities will meet to consider immunity cases, among them Karl Nawrocki's, the presidential candidate's.

The president of the Institute of National Remembrance - like members of parliament - is protected by immunity.

Nawrocki criticized the return of privileges and extremely high retirement benefits to former members who, as he said: "who surveilled, put in internment centers, imprisoned, broke up families, forced into emigration" people who criticed Comunist government

"9,000 people awarded the Crosses of Freedom and Solidarity, heroes of our freedom often live from paycheck to paycheck in very modest conditions" – added Nawrocki.

The Association of Uniformed Retirees, which includes former officers of the People's Republic services, submitted a request to waive his immunity. It is about his above statement, which, in their opinion, was offensive.
