April 26, Pozirk.<\/em><\/strong> Stasia Hli\u0144nik, who is deputizing for missing Coordination Council (CC) speaker An\u017ealika Mielnikava, has told Pozirk<\/em> that she does not seek to become a permanent speaker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In about two weeks, it will be three months since Mielnikava has not performed her duties. If Hli\u0144nik does not take over her powers, the CC will hold speaker elections on May 13.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hli\u0144nik defended her decision by saying that “it would be undemocratic” to combine her position in \u015aviat\u0142ana Cichano\u016dskaja’s office with the Coordination Council leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Today, it is important for me to maintain that part of my work that concerns supporting and helping the president-elect,” Cichano\u016dskaja’s aide stressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hli\u0144nik added that she will continue to represent the European Choice faction, which has eight of 80 seats in the CC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Poland-based opposition politician Mielnikava has not contacted her associates since March 25. The Lublin branch of the National Prosecutor\u2019s Office launched an investigation into her disappearance in line with a Criminal Code article against deprivation of liberty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
