During an interview with Marcin Fijołek, Szymon Hołownia stated bluntly: "I've been repeatedly asked or suggested whether I'd be ready to stage a coup." He added that these suggestions concerned blocking or delaying the newly elected president's oath-taking ceremony. The Speaker emphasized that he firmly rejected these proposals. "I would not participate in a coup. As Speaker of the Sejm, I am obligated to respect the will of the majority of voters," Hołownia stated.
The leader of Poland 2050 did not want to reveal the names of the people who made him such far-reaching proposals, suggesting that he might write about it in his memoirs.
Attorney Bartosz Lewandowski responded to these shocking words, announcing on the X that he had filed a motion to question the Speaker of the Sejm as a witness.
"In reference to further media reports about Marshal Szymon Hołownia inciting him to prevent the inauguration of President-elect Karol Nawrocki, and thus to change the state system and stage a coup d'état, I hereby inform you that, on behalf of the aggrieved party, the National Council of the Judiciary, I have filed an evidentiary motion with the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw to question the Speaker as a witness."
If the evidentiary motion is granted, Szymon Hołownia will be required to disclose the names of the individuals who incited him to fail in his duties and prevent President Karol Nawrocki from being sworn in, as well as to provide the circumstances surrounding such acts.
"Inciting to commit a prohibited act is a crime in itself, and it is irrelevant whether the person being incited committed a violation of the law or not. The information disclosed by the Marshal is of crucial importance to the ongoing investigation. I hope that the prosecutor will grant the motion and immediately set a date for action in this matter," added Lewandowski.
