Eichart: Vasik and Kaminsky are not deputies
The Ministry of Justice commented on this issue earlier. – Their mandate has expired. The case is in the Supreme Court, the appeal case is not about it, the Supreme Court will not decide whether the MPs are or not.

Maria Eichart asked about the Supreme Court decision on Thursday.
– is the final decision of the court, by which they were sentenced to absolute imprisonment, and this is the basis for the execution of this sentence. Therefore, for the time being, nothing can protect them from this punishment.

Office of the President's Chancellery
However, as stated in the President's office, Andrzej Duda thinks that he has already pardoned both politicians, so “Macie Vesic and Mariusz Kaminski, if they are put in prison, we will treat them as political prisoners, because there is no doubt that we are dealing with political retribution.
“I don't know where the information is coming from that the president will give in and sign the pardon of Maciej Vesic and Mariusz Kaminski for the second time,” writes Grazina Ignačak-Bandić, the head of the legal firm.
