A proposal on this issue has not received the required two-thirds majority. At the winter session will therefore be a discussion on the functioning of democratic institutions in Poland.
organize urgent debate demanded the greatest political factions: the Christian Democrats, Socialists, Liberals and United Left. However, the request did not receive the support required 2/3 votes.
The debate voted 98 delegates to PACE, 89 were against and 14 abstained.
Before the vote, to carry out debate called Italian delegate Michele Nicoletti, vice-president of the Socialist Group (SOC).
He stressed that the information coming from Polish are so disturbing that fully justifies a close look into the matter and prepare a report.
The request for adjournment reported, in turn, liberal MP from Moldova Valeriu Ghiletchi. He argued that prior to obtaining the expertise of the Venice Commission, which is to assess the changes made in Poland, the debate would not make sense. He appealed to postpone it until obtaining reliable information and expertise. A similar view was almost half the voters.
In this session, the Assembly Poland is represented by a parliamentary delegation led by Deputy PiS Vladimir Bernacki. It includes the following members: Iwona Arent, Thomas Cimoszewicz, Andrzej Halicki, Grzegorz Janik, Daniel Milewski, Killion Munyama, Jacek Osuch, Agnieszka Pomaska, Krzysztof Sitarski, Dominik Tarczyński Krzysztof Truskolaski and Jacek Wilk and senators Margareta Budner, Gregory helm, Alexander Pociej and Andrzej Wojtyla.
