===Rywingate=== Kwaśniewski refused in 2003 to face a special parliamentary commission,<ref>{{cite magazine |url=http://www.worldpress.org/Europe/1098.cfm |title=Poland: Paper Chase |first=Marcin |last=Hadaj |date=June 2003 |magazine=[[World Press Review]] |volume=50 |number=6}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.warsawvoice.pl/view/2877/ |title=Endgame Sans President |date=10 July 2003 |work=[[The Warsaw Voice]] |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030822072402/http://www.warsawvoice.pl/view/2877 |archive-date=2003-08-22}}</ref> which was set up to reveal all circumstances linked with [[Rywingate]]. Kwaśniewski argued, that the constitution did not allow parliamentary commissions to investigate the president, and there were no clear law opinions. The commission decided eventually not to summon Kwaśniewski.<ref>{{cite web |language=pl |url=http://wiadomosci.polska.pl/polityka/article,Prezydent,id,49332.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110719065429/http://wiadomosci.polska.pl/polityka/article,Prezydent,id,49332.htm |archive-date=19 July 2011 |title=Prezydent odetchnął |date=2003-07-01 |first=Marcin |last=Pijaczyński |work=Polska.pl}}</ref> For a second time Kwaśniewski refused as a witness to face the commission investigating the privatization of [[Orlen]] petrol concern, in March 2005. He argued that the actions of commission members, being in opposition to the leftist government supported by him, were directed against him.<ref>{{cite news |language=pl |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/polish/domestic/story/2005/03/050307_kwasniewski_commission.shtml |work=BBCPolska.com |title=Prezydent nie stanie przed komisją |trans-title=President will not stand before the commission |date=2005-03-07}}</ref> He sought to undermine the commission by releasing considerable amounts of information to journalists while only belatedly making it available to the commission members.{{Citation needed|date=January 2021}}
