Polish police briefly detain lawmaker who interrupted prime minister’s speech
Polish police briefly detained an opposition Polish lawmaker on Tuesday, violating her parliamentary immunity, after she interrupted a marketing campaign speech by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
Critics of Morawiecki’s right-wing authorities denounced the habits of police, calling it an instance of the deterioration of rule of regulation.
The lawmaker, Kinga Gajewska was utilizing a megaphone to interrupt a speech by Morawiecki in Otwock, a city close to Warsaw.
The broadcaster TVN24 reported that opposition politicians had been holding a rally close to one by Morawiecki.
Gajewska used her megaphone to handle listeners with details about an alleged visa scandal involving some consular employees who are reported to have taken bribes in return for giving visas to Africans and Asians.

Poland’s Law and Justice ruling social gathering has sought to downplay the scandal because it fights for an unprecedented third consecutive time period.
Marcin Kierwinski, the secretary common of the Civic Coalition electoral alliance to which the 33-year-old Gajewska belongs, denounced the detention.
“These are Belarusian standards,” Kierwinski stated. “The police detained her even though she repeated that she was a member of parliament.”
Police issued a press release saying they’d not been conscious that she was a lawmaker.
A video posted by Donald Tusk, the primary opposition chief, exhibits police placing her into the van whilst individuals instructed police that she is a lawmaker.
