Tusk responds to the President's move
The first question was about the procedure for pardoning PiS politicians Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Vasik. – I am not a psychologist to discuss the president's motivation. As Prime Minister, it is important for me that Poland becomes a state of law again. I have nothing against trying to pardon you, it is the competence of the President. The only thing that can be confusing is the fact that the President decided to use the pardon procedure instead of issuing the pardon act, said Donald Tusk. – One of my main goals is for everyone in Poland to do what they have to do according to the law, – he added.
– I am proud of the Polish state and the people who work in it. I realized on the way to meet you The prosecutor's office is trying to open a case To the police officers who arrested PiS politicians. I don't think anyone thinks that having Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Vesic in prison is a comfortable situation for me. The problem is that Poland should be a country where people will follow the letter of the law and not the will of this or that politician, said the Prime Minister.
– I know that my political opponents do not think that we can limit our power by appointing, including the position of the Minister of Justice, a non-partisan person, that we are not looking for propaganda specialists when reforming the public media, Tusk said. and assured that “the prosecutor's office will be independent”. – If you ask me what decision Minister Bodnar will take, I will answer you: I don't know, – said the head of the government.
Recall that on Thursday, President Andrzej Duda announced that he has requested the Minister of Justice and the Prosecutor General Adam Bodnar to release the former heads of CBA, Mariusz Kaminski and Maciej Vasik, from prison until the end of the pardon process.
