A traditional Christmas wafer meeting for MPs was held in the Sejm. Marshal Marek Kuchciński, summarizing the year 2016, emphasized the importance of the celebration of the 1050th anniversary of the Baptism of Poland.
- The Baptism of Poland showed us the greatness of the past and the Christian heritage has shaped the fate of the country and our nation until today," said the Speaker. - We are in the Sejm and Senate to serve the nation. May Christmas strengthen this awareness in us - he wished.
The Metropolitan of Warsaw, Cardinal Kazimierz Nycz, thanked the parliamentarians for their legislative work related to the 1050th anniversary of the Baptism of Poland, as well as their commitment and presence during the meeting with Pope Francis during World Youth Day.
- I would like to wish the silence in which you can hear the man closest to you, for whom in the year-long rush we often do not have time ... - said Cardinal Nycz.
The meeting was attended by Speakers of the Sejm and the Senate, Members of the Parliament, Senators and the Presidium of the Sejm. The chaplain of the parliamentarians priest Piotr Burgoński was present and read the fragment of the Holy Bible.

Members and supporters of the Law and Justice Party, including MPs, ministers, the Speaker and Deputy Speakers of the Sejm, gathered at the evening wafer meeting.
- We are implementing our programme, a programme full of empathy. It is for those who have been completely forgotten - said Jaroslaw Kaczynski, chairman of the Law and Justice party. I am full of hope that Poland will be more just, that it will develop towards prosperity, strength and happiness - he said.
Jarosław Kaczyński reminded of programs that give reason for satisfaction, programs that raise the living status of Poles, i.e. Mieszkanie pl us or 500 pl us.
He also referred to the attacks on the MP Stanisław Piotrowicz. - It rarely happens that someone is attacked in this way. He pays a special price, if I could, I would award him a medal - he argued.
