Krzysztof Bosak, one of the leaders of Confederation (Konfederacja), was asked about the actions of the current ruling team toward Zbigniew Ziobro. His words were far from positive.

Żurek vs. Ziobro

Last Tuesday, Waldemar Żurek, the current head of the Ministry of Justice (MS) and Prosecutor General, submitted to the Speaker of the Sejm, Szymon Hołownia, a request for consent to bring Ziobro to criminal liability, as well as for his detention and arrest.

The spokesperson for the Prosecutor General, prosecutor Anna Adamiak, announced at a press conference that the prosecutor’s office had submitted a 158-page request to the Speaker of the Sejm.

This case concerns alleged irregularities in the spending of money from the Justice Fund (Fundusz Sprawiedliwości). According to the spokesperson for the Prosecutor General, when Ziobro was head of the Ministry of Justice, he allegedly founded and led an organized criminal group that embezzled over 150 million PLN from this fund.

What About Immunity?

Today marks the end of the three-day period set by Speaker of the Sejm Szymon Hołownia for Zbigniew Ziobro to voluntarily waive his parliamentary immunity. It was indicated that if the former Minister of Justice does not take advantage of this opportunity, the Sejm will decide his fate.

It is also known that the meeting of the Rules Committee, during which MPs will consider the motion to lift Ziobro’s immunity, is scheduled for November 6.

This morning, on Polsat News, Ziobro himself stated that “he will not be giving up anything.”

Bosak: “The Authorities Are Crossing the Line“

Asked today about the commotion the Tusk government is creating around the former Minister of Justice, Krzysztof Bosak of Confederation (Konfederacja) said, “I believe that every politician should conduct politics here, in the country. I find it unusual when someone goes abroad. On the other hand, in my opinion, the current authorities are crossing the line by demanding the arrest of the former minister [Zbigniew Ziobro]. You can request arrest only for someone who is evading the justice system,” he said on Polish Radio 1 (PR1).

As he noted, “politicians in Poland are very rarely convicted.”

“To be honest, I don’t believe it. In my opinion, this is largely theater for the public. They’ve piled so many charges against him that it’s hard to keep track. I consider the charge of an organized criminal group to be absurd,” Bosak added.
