In the parliamentary elections in Poland in 2001 , she finally won a seat for the Sejm in the Piła constituency and became secretary of the “Samoobrona” faction. As a deputy, she was also a member of the committee of inquiry into the Rywin affair , from which she was removed on December 3, 2003. In the parliamentary elections in Poland in 2005 , she was able to return to the Sejm.

On September 26, 2006, a film recorded with the help of a hidden camera was shown on the television program “Teraz my” on the private Polish broadcaster TVN (see tape affair ). In the short recording, Beger suggested her terms to the Sejm member and deputy party chairman of the PiS , Adam Lipiński , in exchange for her possible conversion. These included demands for a promising position on the list, a job in the Ministry of Agriculture and unspecified assistance with ongoing legal proceedings.

In June 2006, she was sentenced to two years suspended prison sentence. This judgment was overturned by an appeals court in June 2007 and a retrial was initiated. In June 2008, after the retrial, the Piła District Court sentenced Beger to a fine of 30,000 złoty and a two-year suspended prison sentence. Beger denied her guilt several times. In June 2009, a district court upheld the appeal in the first instance after the retrial after the appeal.

In October 2008, the Szamotuły District Court sentenced her to a fine for violating the electoral code. The violation was that she paid money to someone to collect supporter signatures for her party. This judgment was upheld in February 2009 by the Poznan District Court.
