The Polish Parliament (Sejm) has nominated Mateusz Szpytma as the new head of the Institute of National Remembrance (IPN). Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, leader of the Polish People's Party (PSL), explained the party's support for Szpytma stems from his commitment to commemorating figures from the PSL’s history. Kosiniak-Kamysz warned that if the Senate does not approve Szpytma’s candidacy, the IPN will remain under presidential influence. He emphasized Szpytma’s background was a key factor in the decision to support him. The vote in the Sejm reflects ongoing political maneuvering regarding control of this important historical institution. The appointment now awaits Senate confirmation. This decision highlights the intersection of historical memory and current political alliances in Poland.
