Summary/Abstract: Legal responsibility of a parliamentarian in the course of activities falling within the scope of performing his mandate and outside it – some polemical remarks de lege ferenda. The publication is an attempt to summarize the basic principles of legal liability of parliamentarians in the Polish legal system. The author criticizes the current legislative solutions in this area, which, in his opinion, go too far in protecting the parliamentarian, both in relation to his activities falling within the scope of exercising his mandate and in relation to non-parliamentary activities. Society expects its representatives to behave in a dignifi ed and honest manner, focused on the concern for the common good. A parliamentary mandate should not be an escape from responsibility or a postponement. In conclusion, the author emphasizes that there are no rational premises for the continued protection of the deputy and senator to be so strong, even when it obviously violates the social sense of justice.
