lpv:translated text	"President Lech Kaczyński, despite a publicly made promise, has still not signed the Treaty of Lisbon. The delay has now lasted for over one and a half years. This is unjustified, reprehensible, and even illegal. On 1 April 2008, the President was commissioned by the Polish Parliament to ratify the Treaty of Lisbon. In accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, the President is obliged to sign. It is not a question of his good will or his inclination – it is an obligation. In not fulfilling this obligation, he is breaking the law. By making his signing of the Treaty dependent on the decision of the citizens of another country, President Kaczyński has placed Poland in the role of a country which is not capable of making a sovereign decision, and has offended the patriotic feelings of Poles. In Ireland, the winners were the supporters of a strong and united European Union. In Poland, the President stands in the way of victory, and he now has almost no support from society. Could it be that he has procrastinated for personal reasons, for fear of losing an inflexible anti-EU electorate, including that associated with Radio Maryja? If so, it is high time to initiate the procedure for impeachment. In accordance with the Constitution of the Republic of Poland, there are two possible ways. The Tribunal of State, or application of Article 131, paragraph 2, subparagraph 4 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland – ‘a declaration by the National Assembly of the President’s permanent incapacity to exercise his duties due to the state of his health’. The Polish people do not want to hinder development of the European Union. On the contrary, they want to initiate beneficial changes in Europe. President Kaczyński does not have the right to interfere with this."@en1
