Mirosława Chyr from the District Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw explained that only preliminary proceedings were launched in response to a notification filed by a private person.
The phone survey by Kantar for "Fakty" TVN and TVN24 was carried out between 12 and 13 August, 2019, on a nationwide representative sample of respondents aged 18 or older. The sample involved 1003 people.
Last week, Marek Kuchciński resigned as parliament speaker, adding, however, that he hadn't broken the law.
Former interior minister Elżbieta Witek replaced Kuchciński and became the new Marshal of the Sejm.
