The head of the prime minister’s office, Jan Grabiec, said the device was found during a routine check that security forces do before every cabinet meeting, regardless of where the meeting takes place.
“We have to reckon with the fact that there are forces and actors who are interested in disrupting the secrecy of the government meetings,” said Grabiec.
Deputy Minister of the Interior Tomasz Siemoniak pointed out that it could be a device that someone had placed in the hall at the voivodship office earlier, but it only came to light now. The Polish security services are investigating the case of the find.
