29.04. Warsaw (PAP / PAP Legislation) - Candidate for President of the IPN will be a showdown to determine the competition announced by the College of IPN, the president shall appoint the Parliament; College will replace the current Council IPN - predicts amended by the Parliament Act on the Institute. After the changes will be liquidated Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites.

The amendment of, by PiS deputies, supported in Friday's vote, 267 deputies, 174 were against, abstained from voting four deputies.

Just before the vote Marcin Święcicki (PO) asked applicants, "why they politicize IPN". "The Council of the Institute appointed was far from persons nominated by the scientific community () and enjoyed the confidence of historians and the public. They were actually people who met certain standards. Today, the State propose to completely cut off the scientific community, Academy of Sciences, universities. Those selected for the currently appointed College IPN need not have even a higher education. So we build trust in our history, we will not show it in the right light "- he said.

The representative of the applicants Arkadiusz Mularczyk (PiS) replied that a member of the College of the Law may be a person who - as recorded in the novel - there are strong moral character and knowledge for the work of the Institute of National Remembrance. "There are people who in the 70s and 80s were held prison, could not get a higher education, and we want to honor these people. You powołaliście IPN Council, whose members were elected by universities, scientific. I ended up that president Łukasz Kamiński included dozens of agreements with the professors on the provision of civil law, for reviews of publications. And those who have it to control the de facto were on the pot. We are heal. this amendment will give the instruments to IPN was efficient units to build pride about Polish history "- he stressed.

Vice President of IPN Paul Ukielski in an interview with PAP accepted the plea that the members of the IPN were "pot on the president" as "absurd". "For five years the President Lukasz Kaminski and the Council in the present composition contains 71 such paid contracts for a total amount of 67 310 zł gross. From the words of Mr Mularczyk imply that nine of recognized experts can bribe in the five years the amount of 67 thousand. Zł. I do not know who is more insulting - the professors, the President of the IPN or common sense "- he said.

As noted, before the previous novella Act functioned IPN College and in 2007-2011 with its members also were signed agreements of this type, "then the amount of 72 210 zł together." "It was mainly a contract to write reviews of eminent specialists. There seems to be reprehensible, and thanks to the introduction of the system recenzyjnego books published by IPN is unrivaled quality" - he stressed.

The very short story Act on the IPN rated "fairly critical". "We believe that this project was hastily carried out, which was not subject to interministerial consultations, was not consulted with IPN, therefore contains numerous errors legislation. At the same time introduces an extremely short, 14-day application period," - he said.

As noted, many of the entries wakes from the point of view of the IPN claims the merits. "Firstly, it is blurring the current mission of deal with the legacy of murderous totalitarian regimes in Polish - Nazism and communism. Currently implemented are different ranges chronological the different activities. Educational and scientific intended to cover the time from the third partition, and even records are talking about all the important events in the history of the Polish nation "- he stressed.

Critically also referred to the division of competences Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom between IPN and the Ministry of Culture. "Many of them will be assigned to both the Minister and the President, which introduces considerable chaos competence. It is a pity that it does not take into account our postulate adaptation of the breakdown of the IPN to the administrative division of the country. Reservations also raises interrupted term and liquidation of the IPN and the establishment of the College without any competence criteria of people who sit in it "- rated Ukielski.

The plus points scored Act, among others, liquidation and restoration of a set of proprietary mode of election of the President by way of competition, and not directly by the Sejm and the Senate. "We believe that the opportunity for the candidates to the public his vision of its functioning is a good step. Positive is the expansion of and clarification of rules relating to prospecting victims of communist crimes" - summed up the vice-president of IPN.

The amendment to the Act on the IPN provides for shortening the term of the present Council IPN and calling in its place the College of IPN. Nine members of the College will invoke the Parliament, the Senate and the President.

According to the new rules IPN President shall appoint the Sejm, with the consent of the Senate, at the request of the College of IPN, which will submit a candidate outside his circle. The College will select a candidate in a competition. The president will be able to be a person distinguished by high moral character and knowledge for the tasks of the Institute, with a degree at least the doctor.

The term of the current President of the IPN will expire on the date of entry into force of the amendment, but it will be served as until her appointment as the successor. The first competition will be announced within 10 days from the date of appointment of the College of IPN under the new rules.

The amendment extends the time range study of the IPN. "This gives you the ability to conduct the exhumation not only to the victims until after World War II, and in its time. We come to the November 8, 1917 r., That is, to the revolution, as a result of which many Poles lost their lives in the Borderlands" - emphasized Mularczyk (PiS) during previous work.

The tasks of the research and educational IPN novel include, among others, dissemination in the country and abroad, positions and opinions on the most important historical events of the Polish nation. The Institute has also informed about the methods, places and perpetrators of crimes against the Polish nation and to support social enterprise aiming at creation of patriotism and national identity.

The amendment provides for a new mechanism to explore the remains of people who lost their lives fighting against totalitarianism. "We introduce the ability to carry out this work on the basis of provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure. In the case of finding the remains of victims in any proceedings will be conducted investigation by the prosecutor of the Main Commission for the Investigation of Crimes against the Polish Nation" - said Mularczyk.

With the IPN will also be created database of the genetic material of victims of totalitarian repression and ethnic cleansing. But - as he said during the previous debate Mularczyk - tissue samples remain at Szczecin University, who has led the Polish base Genetic Victims of totalitarian regimes. Information about the victims and their families find themselves in a computer system developed by the Institute of National Remembrance.

Under the amendment is to be liquidated Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites. Part of its remit is to take the IPN, the other - the Ministry of Culture, where they can also find the employment of the existing staff. The Minister uprising Council. Museums and Places of National Remembrance - consultative and advisory body on issues of management, funding and cultural policy in the field of museology and matters relating to national memorials, including the destruction of monuments.

Within 12 months of the entry into force of the amendment heads of the Internal Security Agency and Foreign Intelligence Agency, the Minister Coordinator of Special Services, Defence Minister and commander of the Border Guard (with respect to documents produced by b. Military Border Protection), in consultation with president of the IPN will review the documents in the collection registered in the archives of the Institute. After analyzing decide which documents are declassified on the principles of law on the protection of classified information, and that will become open documents.

As part of the opposition minority motions proposed changes relating to, among others, Dial IPN President by the Sejm by an absolute majority of votes and the introduction of the criterion of higher education for members of the Council of the Institute. These changes were not on Friday by the parliamentary majority accepted.

During the second reading also tabled several amendments, among others, deleting the modified definition of the crimes of the communist and adjusting the structure of the IPN to the administrative division of the country. Most of them were by the Parliament in accordance with the recommendation of the committee, rejected. Members acceded only among to the modification that, collection and storage of samples and conducting comparative studies IPN may instruct a group of medical schools, a group of universities offering teaching and research activities in the field of medical science and a group of other authorized entities.
