Polish MP Removed from Sejm for Drunken Disruption

Drunk Polish MP Ejected from Parliament A scandalous incident unfolded in the Polish Sejm (parliament) on June 1st, 2025, when MP Ryszard Wilck, a member of the Confederation party, was removed from the session for being visibly intoxicated and disruptive. The incident occurred during a speech by Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The video evidence clearly shows Wilck's unsteady gait and behavior. "He was shouting and interrupting the Prime Minister's speech," stated an eyewitness in the Sejm. This was not Wilck's first such incident. In early May, police responded to reports of a man obstructing traffic while intoxicated. This man was later identified as Wilck. Following the Sejm incident, Wilck publicly apologized, attributing his behavior to alcohol addiction. The Confederation party subsequently suspended him. The incident highlights issues of conduct within the Polish parliament and raises questions about the responsibilities of elected officials. The Sejm's disciplinary actions serve as a reminder of the importance of maintaining decorum during parliamentary proceedings.
