Petition richtet sich an: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner evokes several events that took place before and after the presidential election in Poland initially scheduled on 10 May 2020, in his opinion breaching freedom to assembly, as the assembly was declared to the City Hall in Warsaw. During the political assemblies on the streets, police arrested many citizens and one candidate to the post of the President as well. In the petitioner’s opinion, these actions are infringing Polish Constitution, Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU and Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. He states that any legal act, such as regulation introduced by Polish authorities in the wake of COVID 19 pandemic (Polish government decree from 16.05.2020 on the establishment of certain restrictions, orders and prohibitions in connection with the outbreak of the pandemic) cannot prevail over the constitutional right of citizens to gathering.
