Alter-commission of L&J

As 'Rezczpospolita' reports, Law and Justice (PiS) has an idea of what to do, if Wasserman and Kempa don't come back to the 'gambling (hazard) commission'. L&J intends to move the case to Justice and Human Rights Commission. The idea deserves regard. Throwing Kempa and Wasserman away has been an evident disgrace for Civic Platform. Crowds of journalists interested in Justice Commission and a few observers of Sekuła'a commission will be a sad scene to CP.

'Gambling commission' definitively discredits a mechanism of investigation commissions. CP's politicians expel opposition and prime minister Tusk says he doesn't like it, but he's not going to do anything in this case. It becomes clear that commission's existence in such form has no sense and, at best, brings a shame on CP.

Any political party has never been too eager in investigating a backstage of what it had been involved in. Everyone recalls DLA, which has almost been eliminated from parliament by the 'Rywingate' commission.

And so it will all spin around. CP's going to make a theater in 'gambling commission', L&J - in commission referred to leakages and Blida and DLA will remember for ever not to dig in any commission.

That's a shame, because by discrediting (again) an institution of investigation commission, Seym (polish government) is depriving itself of big part of its controlling rights. But what to expect, when parliamentary parties resemble a flocks of gooses following thoughtlessly their leaders.
