Polish Sejm no-confidence motion against Interior Minister

Overview

The Polish Sejm rejected a motion of no confidence against the Minister of Interior and Administration, Marcin Kierwiński. The motion, initiated by members of the Law and Justice (PiS) party and Rozwoju Plus, failed to reach the required statutory majority, receiving 212 votes in favor and 235 against.

Opposition lawmakers and members of the Confederation party raised several allegations against the minister. These included claims of failing to oversee critical security institutions, mismanagement of the public warning system, and staffing shortages in cybercrime units. Additionally, critics accused Kierwiński of politicizing the police, particularly regarding actions involving the Constitutional Tribunal and interventions at the residence of Bartosz Malewski, president of the Independence March Association.

Minister Kierwiński defended his tenure, suggesting that attempts to remove him indicated his work on security issues made the opposition uneasy. Prime Minister Donald Tusk also supported the minister, describing the motion as baseless and praising his efforts to protect national borders and security.
