The Institute of Truth informed that the Regional Prosecutor's Office in Warsaw has filed an indictment in court against eight individuals regarding irregularities at the National Centre for Research and Development. According to the description, they were accused of, among other things, participating in a criminal organization, fraud to the detriment of NCBiR, issuing false VAT invoices, and money laundering. Investigators established that between 2021 and 2023, companies were created without any actual research and development activities to obtain public funds. The author described SMS correspondence from 2017 between Adam Bielan, his wife Klaudia, and Piotr M., the president of Chime Networks and one of the main accused. The company sought around 123 million PLN for the "Cable" project concerning underwater fiber optic infrastructure. According to the accounts from journalists of the podcast "In Connection with the Investigation," Dominika Długosz and Mariusz Gierszewski, Bielan was supposed to assist in organizing a meeting between Piotr M. and a Qatari delegation, and his wife received a presentation from the company and declared she would pass it on to her husband. Bielan was not charged. The Institute of Truth emphasized that Bielan had denied any close relationship with Piotr M. and involvement in the "Cable" project. He claimed to have met him through Jacek Żalek, and the meeting with the Qataris was of a courtesy nature; later, he was supposed to warn against the project. Żalek, on the other hand, maintained that Bielan and Piotr M. had known each other for years. The author recalled that Żalek was accused, among other things, of exceeding authority and accepting bribes, while the European Prosecutor's Office accused Piotr M. of attempting to defraud funding. The contract for 123 million PLN was ultimately not signed. The author stressed that the correspondence from 2017 does not prove Bielan's involvement in the later grant application, but indicates his contacts with the entrepreneur and assistance in organizing a high-level meeting. He added that Bielan was not included in the indictment. #InstytutPrawdy #NCBiR #oszustwa #przestępczość (translated)

"The constitutional legal conflict is generated by two distinct but converging unconstitutional conducts by the Government of Romania: the adoption and transmission for publication of Government Emergency Ordinance no. 38/2026 after the Parliament's withdrawal of confidence through a vote of no confidence (May 5, 2026), respectively its publication in the Official Monitor on May 8, 2026, by a Government that, according to Article 110 paragraph (4) of the Constitution, was no longer authorized to carry out anything but acts of ordinary administration of public affairs, with the categorical exclusion of any delegated legislative competence; the regulation through Government Emergency Ordinance no. 38/2026 of some legislative solutions that were already in parliamentary procedure - under debate or even on the agenda of the plenary sessions in the Chamber of Deputies and, respectively, in the Senate - thus transforming the Government from a delegated legislator, who was just stripped of its democratic mandate, into a legislative authority competing with Parliament, abdicating from its constitutional role and at the same time disregarding the obligation of constitutional loyalty towards Parliament, as the sole legislative authority of the country." Sorin Grindeanu requested the Constitutional Court to acknowledge the existence of this constitutional legal conflict between Parliament and the Government and to establish the conduct to be followed in order to restore constitutional order. #Constituție #Guvern #Parlament (translated)
