Polish Member of Parliament Sławomir Mentzen is facing potential loss of parliamentary immunity after discharging a flare gun in a public place. Mentzen addressed the Sejm, Poland’s lower house of parliament, claiming prior instances of discharging flares went unnoticed by law enforcement. He alleges the current investigation is politically motivated, linking it to a banner displayed during his speech. The banner read, “Poland demands Tusk’s return to Berlin,” referencing current Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Mentzen, a member of the Konfederacja party, suggested authorities only reacted due to the banner’s message. The incident has sparked debate regarding freedom of expression and potential political bias in law enforcement. The case is now under review by the relevant parliamentary committee.
