Parliamentary committee cuts funding for Human Rights Commissioner

In the state run by Law and Justice, only the institutions filled with the ruling party's nominees receive proper funding, said Marcin Kierwiński, an MP from the opposition Civic Platform party. With these words he commented on the decision by a parliamentary committee to cut funding for the Office of the Commissioner for Human Rights (RPO). Law and Justice's MP Jan Mosiński argued that the RPO's activities include "political projects" that shouldn't be financed.
